We do not offer in-house lodging but we highly recommend staying at the ELK CHUTE LODGE which is only 10 minutes from our HQ. www.elkchutelodge.com

There are also several hotel options in either Blytheville, AR which is about 15-20 minutes to our south, just across the state line or in Kennett, MO which is about 25 minutes north of the Fowl Lifestyle HQ where we meet our clients for our Missouri hunting.

Duck Season: MO Migratory Bird Hunting Permit: $6, MO Non-Resident Daily Small Game Permit: $16/Day, Federal Duck Stamp: $25

Spring Conservation Snow Goose: Conservation Order Permit $5.50/Person (Resident) or $54/Person (Non-Resident)

Guided Hunts: We allow a single retriever, per hunt/day for each guided group if they would like to bring their own dog. They must be pre-approved by our staff & under control at all times during the trip. Clients must inform us prior to arrival to guarantee use of their own dog. 

Daily Pit Lease: All of our setups have a minimum of 1 dog box, many have 2 boxes, setup specifically for your retriever during your hunt.

Water depths will range in all of our SEMO fields from a few inches up to 24 inches. While we recommend waders for our guided clients, we can most definitely get you anywhere we may go in waterproof knee boots.

Self-Guided clients are recommended to bring waders as some of our fields have shallow ditches that will need to be crossed to retrieve birds or move decoys in certain locations, but it is not a necessity for the entire group.

All deposits & paid monies are non-refundable. If hunts are cancelled/rolled over due to inclement weather, dates will be rescheduled either during the current season or for the upcoming season & the paid monies will be rolled-over.

If we are forced to cancel a hunt due to extreme weather, the rescheduling of a cancelled hunts is the clients’ responsibility. We will reach out to you after the current season to rebook your new dates. If we are unable to reach you to lock in dates for the upcoming season, we cannot guarantee available dates. Your originally booked dates will not be “re-assumed” for the following season. Hunts & deposits will NOT be rolled over for more than 1 season.

If a group cancels their hunt by there own decision, all paid monies are non-refundable. 

We do not guarantee limits as we are hunting a wild migratory bird, but we do guarantee 100% of our effort day in & day out.

Unfortunately not. We plan each day of our season around the number of hunters for that specific day. If a member of your group is unable to attend/backs out, their deposit is forfeited. 

Guided Hunts: Our experienced guides will call the shot for safety reasons & to present the best shot for everyone. Judging distance in the vast expanses of the prairie can trick even the most seasoned waterfowler.

Daily Pit Lease: You are in charge of everything from breaking down the birds, to finishing the them, to making the right shot call!

Safety is our number one concern with all ages, but we welcome everyone who wants to join us in the field! Kids are the next step to preserving our outdoor heritage.

A total of 6 ducks may be harvested per day, per hunter. You may also harvest 2 specks & up to 20 snow geese. The possession limit is 3 times your daily limit.

Our most common types of ducks we harvest on a day to day basis in the flooded fields of SEMO are the following: Mallards, Pintails, Gadwall, Green-Winged Teal, Northern Shovelers, as well as some Wigeon. We do see some divers on occasion as well & if your lucky you may get a chance at a Black Duck!

Our hunts take place in flooded & Dry Rice or Bean Fieldsr.

Guided Hunts: We provide all hunting transportation for our guided hunts. We have several Polaris Ranger Crews as well as other SxS & ATV’s to ensure you never have to walk more than a few feet to the pit or blind!

Daily Pit Leases: We highly recommend bringing an ATV/UTV to get your crew to & from the pits from the gravel roads. While we do have groups that opt not to bring transportation, we stress that it is a necessity. Many of our pits sit in the middle of a flooded field. Gumbo mud can be physically demanding to walk across even for fit individuals.

If we cancel your hunt due to extreme weather or other extenuating circumstances, deposits will be rolled over to the following season. Paid monies are non-refundable. Deposits will NOT be rolled over for more than 1 season.

Trips will only be carried over for a single season. If a group fails to rebook their trip for the following season, their deposit will be forfeit. If a group doesn’t book prior to a full schedule, their deposit will also be forfeit. All groups with a rollover hunt will be given first option at dates prior to accepting new bookings.

Our Guided hunts last until lunch each day. Sometimes, during freezing weather patterns, we may opt to hunt the afternoons instead of mornings.

Self-Guided hunters can hunt as much or as little as they prefer during legal shooting hours each day.
