What To Bring
Shotgun
12ga or 20ga shotgun that can hold up to 3 shells. If your gun can hold more than 3 shells, it needs to have a plug limiting the number of shells to 3. (Exceptions for the Snow Goose Conservation Order)
Shells
For geese we recommend 3 or 3 1/2in shells with shot size of BB-#2 shot. For ducks we recommend 2 3/4 or 3 inch shells with shot size of #1-#4 shot. All shells for waterfowl hunting must be Non-Toxic, meaning the shot must be made out of Steel, Bismuth or Tungsten, NOT LEAD.
Waterproof Boots
Most of our hunting scenarios are in shallow water, meaning that tall waterproof boots are important. Most of the time waders are not requires if you have creek boots.
Outerwear
The weather can vary in Northeast Arkansas, from high 70's degrees during the Early Goose Season to 0 degrees during late Duck Season. Make sure you check the weather and pack accordingly for the condition. During Snow Goose Conservation Hunts, please bring solid white outerwear in case we hunt in the decoys.
Toiletries
Make sure to pack your own body wash, shampoo, deodorant and toothpaste.
Food, Snacks and Drinks
The lodge does have a full kitchen, so feel free to bring your own food, drinks and snacks. The town of Delaplaine does not have many options for food or drink. The town of Paragould is 30 minutes away, and Jonesboro is 45 minutes away.
Eye & Ear Protecting
Although eye and ear protection is not required, it is recommended. Safety is our number one priority, just in front of having fun.
