About Us

WHERE ARE WE LOCATED?

Falling Feather Outdoors is located in the waterfowl rich delta of N.E. Arkansas. Our lodge is in Deleplaine, Arkansas and is surrounded by Millions of acres of rice, soybeans, and corn . Hundreds of thousands of Mallards, Pintails, Gadwall, Teal, Snow geese, Specklebelly geese, along with other puddle ducks, use this area as their winter home. This area of Arkansas is a waterfowler's paradise!

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

We offer fully guided DUCK AND SPECKELBELLY hunts. Along with your hunt, we also provide your party a Private Lodge just for your group of hunters ONLY. We require a minimum of 4 hunters to book a hunt with Falling Feather Outdoors LLC.

WHY CHOOSE FFO?

Why should your group choose Falling Feather Outdoors? We understand the value of your Time and your Money here at FFO. Every single day myself and my guides are going to work our tails off to get your group in the best spot to shoot ducks or geese. Myself and my guides are all still extremely passionate about killing ducks and geese consistently day in and day out. Just taking folks out hunting is not what we are about. We want to make a pile for them!!!!!

What to bring

*Waders and knee boots

*Camo clothing. I always suggest bringing something that is waterproof along on your trip. Our weather here is very unpredictable.

*Shotgun- Preferably 12 gauge or larger.

* I'm asked a lot about what choke I recommend. I recommend a Modified or Full choke.

*Shot size - #1 or larger in a 3" or 3 1/2" Shell

* Hunting License/ Federal and state duck stamp. Free hip registration card.

***5 Day Non-Resident small game lic $70

*** Non-Resident Arkansas state stamp $35

*** Federal stamp $29

*** Register for HIP "FREE"

*Sunglasses. Being out in the wide open in the Arkansas flatland's can be tough on your eyes, and for me, can cause a pretty good headache. Do keep in mind to bring a pair that is not real loud in color. Black or brown works great.

* Adult beverages. We want you guys to have a great time on your Waterfowl vacation, but we do not provide alcohol of any kind. There is a Liquor store about 5 miles from lodge though. (Arkansas does not sell Alcohol on Sunday's)

* Towels,Sheets,Pillow Cases are all provided at your lodge.

Your Guide / OWNER

TJ Hedge

I am the owner of Falling Feather Outdoors along with my wife, Kristen Hedge and our 2 children, Layne and Addison.

Born and raised in Paragould, AR, I started guiding right here in this area at 18 years old. I own and operate Hedges Auto Sales Inc with my brother and mom, but my passion is waterfowl. A few things about me you should know, I do not guide for the money! I guide because I love to meet new people and I love to show off the talents that the Lord has blessed me with. Some people have been blessed with beauty, wealth, fame or something else unique, but me... I am just good at "TALKING DUCKS AND GEESE INTO GIVING UP."

All of these guides below are like brothers to me, and I am very blessed to have each one of them as guides. It takes an army to pull off what we do day in and day out, but they get up every day and give it 100% each day.

Your Guide

Derick Carter

You can just call him WOOD. Like a lot of guys in this area, Derick started guiding shortly after graduating high school. He is a big asset to this operation and he knows how to get the job done. He is a full-time guide for FFO, and will be involved in some way with the day to day business.

Your Guide

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at tjhedge@yahoo.com or fallingfeatheroutdoors@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

First Question

Can I bring my dog?

Answer.....yes. Clients are welcome to bring their personal hunting dog along for the hunt. However, when a client brings his dog, that client is responsible for each and every duck or goose that is knocked down during that days hunt. The short retrieves along with the long ones. If the clients dog does not make the retrieve, the owner will be responsible for going and getting the bird.

"ALL DOGS SHOULD BE UNDER CONTROL AND QUIET"

Second Question

What is the address to the lodge we will be staying at?

Answer.......

3367 HWY 90

Delaplaine AR 72425

Third Question

Will we be hunting in the afternoons?

Answer...... Sometimes. If the morning hunt does not go as planned, we will have hunters back in the field in the afternoon, but this is not a common practice by any stretch. On most days, the guides will take off to scout around 2pm and be gone until dark most days. The afternoon scouting is very important to our next days success.

Forth Question

Tipping your Guide or the staff?

I encourage everyone to tip our staff. My guys work their butts off around here on preparation, scouting, pumping pits out brushing blinds, Re-brushing blinds after storms and countless other chores daily to make your hunt a clean , safe, and relaxing fun hunt. If you noticed our staff worked their tail off for you, show your appreciation for them and tip them. Everyone on staff has a Venmo account set up to receive tips or you can just give them cash if would like .
