ABOUT
In the fall of 2019, The Duck Season Social went from concept to reality through the efforts of a group of dedicated waterfowlers & conservationists with a keen interest in improving and perpetuating Arkansas duck hunting. After skipping a year due to COVID-19, the Duck Season Social bounced back in 2021 and has now grown to an event with over 500 duck hunters in attendance in 2023.
