Waterfowl Hunting

Just how good is Mississippi Delta duck hunting? Let’s just say they named the biggest waterfowl flyway in America after us. In fact, more than twice as many waterfowl are taken on the Mississippi Flyway as any other U. S. flyway. And where we are, the flyway narrows, so that the ducks are literally funneled over our flooded cypress bottoms, rivers, oxbow lakes, and bean and rice fields. So Greenville and Washington County offer hunters a great chance to get to the ducks before they get to their wintertime destination farther south.
