Jon,

What is going to be most important to the 2 of you during this trip?

Number of Ducks and Geese seen/harvested? New type or historic area hunted? Ability to have decent amenities nearby?

Arkansas's second split will go out on the 23rd for 2 days the 24th and 25th. Unless there is a new push of ducks or strong weather there will be a lot of stale ducks even at Stuttgart.

If just being together and having an adventure is part of your idea of a good trip, I would almost suggest waiting a little closer to time and planning the trip on the current conditions and hunting activity. With only 2 of you to "Fit In" it may be a little easier to find accommodations than you think particularly if an area "Gets Hot".

Will
