I know this is a Texas forum but I know we have a lot of our guys that hunt or take a trip to Arkansas. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission has set the season dates a follows, notice that we can actually hunt over Christmas for the first time I can remember:

Duck season dates are Nov. 20-Nov. 28, Dec. 7-Jan. 17 and Jan. 22-Jan. 30. The youth waterfowl hunt will be Feb. 5-6. Duck bag limits will be no more than six ducks consisting of:

4 mallards
3 wood ducks
2 redheads
1 black duck
2 pintails

2 scaup

The Commission also set the northwest Canada goose zone season for Sept. 25-Oct. 4 with a bag limit of two geese. The statewide Canada goose season will be Sept. 1-15 with a bag limit of five geese and Nov. 20-Jan. 30 with a bag limit of two geese.
