What Makes Bayou Bottoms One of the Best Hunting Clubs in Arkansas

Arkansas is home to some of the most legendary waterfowl hunting in the United States. With world-class flooded timber, endless rice fields, and the powerful pull of the Mississippi Flyway, it’s no surprise that serious hunters travel from across the country to experience it.


But if you want more than just a one-time guided hunt—if you're looking for consistent access, proven land, and a long-term hunting experience—then joining a top-tier hunting club in Arkansas is the way to go.


At Bayou Bottoms Guide Service, we offer exclusive club memberships that give serious waterfowlers everything they’re looking for: location, success, freedom, and a community of like-minded hunters. Here’s what sets us apart from the rest—and why we’re considered one of the best duck and goose hunting clubs in Arkansas.


Prime Location in the Mississippi Flyway

Bayou Bottoms is located in Fisher, Arkansas, just south of Jonesboro, in the heart of Northeast Arkansas’ waterfowl zone. This region is a hotspot for mallards, pintails, gadwalls, and geese during the peak of the migration.


Why location matters:


  • We sit directly in a high-traffic flight path

  • Our rice fields and timber tracts border proven public lands and refuge areas

  • Cold fronts bring fresh birds to our farms throughout the season

Our members enjoy reliable hunting conditions and steady action, especially in December and January when the migration is at its peak.


Private Land, Carefully Managed for Results

Unlike public hunting where you’re competing with hundreds of other hunters, Bayou Bottoms members access private ground with restricted pressure and expertly managed habitat.


Our properties include:


  • Flooded rice and bean fields

  • Managed moist-soil impoundments

  • Stands of flooded timber

  • Strategically placed pit blinds and A-frames

We manage our land year-round, not just during duck season. From food plots and water control to off-season habitat prep, our focus is on long-term consistency—not just one good hunt.


Limited Membership = Higher Success

One thing that makes Bayou Bottoms different from other hunting clubs in Arkansas is how we manage membership capacity.


We keep numbers low so that:


  • Pressure is reduced across properties

  • Blinds aren’t overhunted

  • Each member has fair access to our best spots

  • Members know each other, fostering a true hunting community

This is a club built for waterfowlers, not outfitters stacking as many hunters into fields as possible.


Professional Guide Support and Scouting

Even though club members can hunt independently, you’re never on your own. Our guides and management team provide:


  • Weekly scouting reports

  • Current bird movement updates

  • Access to fully prepped blinds

  • On-call support and field recommendations

Need advice on where to hunt during a warm spell? Want a second opinion on calling or decoy spread ideas? Our team is here to help, just like we do for our guided clients.


Hunting Club Amenities and Member Perks

When you join Bayou Bottoms as a club member, you get access to more than just land.


Membership benefits include:


  • Season-long hunting access (within AGFC regulations)

  • Easy online blind reservation system

  • Guest hunting privileges (based on membership tier)

  • Optional lodging packages near Jonesboro or on-site

  • Early booking access to guided conservation goose hunts

  • End-of-season member appreciation event

Whether you're hunting solo, with family, or with long-time buddies, our setup makes it easy to focus on what matters—great mornings in the blind.


Designed for Serious Waterfowlers

Not every hunter needs a club. But if you’ve ever said:


  • “I’m tired of fighting the crowds.”

  • “I want reliable access to quality duck land.”

  • “I hunt every weekend and want something more consistent.”

  • “I’m ready to invest in my own hunting success.”

…then Bayou Bottoms is exactly what you’re looking for.


Our members come from across Arkansas and surrounding states to experience the tradition, challenge, and satisfaction of club hunting done right.
