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 , Speck and Snow goose Conservation 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.
CONSERVATION SNOW GOOSE HUNTS
North East Arkansas is a popular destination for Snow Goose hunters from all across the country. We run hunts the month of February and the hunting is incredible for these birds during this time. NO PLUG, NO LIMIT, ELECTRONIC CALLS. If you have never experienced a Snow Goose Conservation hunt. Allow Falling Feather Outdoors to show you and your hunting party what its all about.
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
Hunter Litchfield
Born and raised in West Central , Illinois. Hunter was raised in a hunting family. Hunter was in a duck blind before he could even walk. Hunter has had an obsession with waterfowl hunting since a very early age. That OBSESSION could have been what led to having to attend a extra year of college, because there may have been alittle to much hunting involved prior to completing his degree. But when he is not hunting. Hunter owns his own mowing business and he is a competitive bass fisherman. Hunter has qualified for the BFL ALL AMERICAN twice. His reputation in the fishing and hunting community is his greatest accomplishment so far.
