Does Free Ranger wear Chaps? Terry Turner wants to know.

Quick Draw, I got it, its mine!!!

Announcing a new bonus this year!

The Free Ranger Team Captain of the day is the FIRST MEMBER who stakes a claim by posting a blog entry at http://www.threeriversduckclub.com no sooner than midnight two days prior to the hunt date. Team captain cannot be the same two days running.

For example, I want to be the Free Ranger Captain for Wednsday's hunt. This means I need to log in and post my blog entry staking my claim at midnight or later of Sunday midnight. Whoever posts soonest after midnight Sunday is the FR captain for Wednsday.

Thanks to Stovall and the guys from Three Rivers, I now have a terminal illness - Duck Feeva !!! It almost killed me last week - I was runnin' around the house talkin' about my "raspy ole hen" call, and my wife thought I was bad-mouthin' her -oops !!

I am REALLY looking forward to coming back for my third year with you guys - and we are working on converting a few more Texans to Arkansas hunting ! See you for the opener - thanks for being such a great group !!

Mark your calendars for being at two preseason work days and one post season work day. The week after you've done your three work days, a $200 check will be heading your way, otherwise enjoy the TP and coffee that your money will go towards at the house. I will post the work day sheet at the house and if you forget to check your name off, just email me and I'll handle. Official work days are: 10/ 21/06, 11/4/06, 11/11/06, and close down 2/10/07.

We are going to have a ball this year as we've got a great group of guys and good spots to shoot em in the lips. As usual, I will send out the schedule/team assignments by November 1st. more »

If you think you're a great caller, come and help out. If you could use a little work, don't be shy, we're here to help. The point is, it takes years of practice and experience to be able to trick a duck into the range of your dead eye aim. Coming to these sessions will speed up your journey of becoming an excellent caller. Thanks Glenn for putting this together-HZ

Calling All Duck Hunters,

The sessions are scheduled as follows:

1) Thursday, October 26th, 5:30 PM. QUACK - The quack is the foundation of all calls, except the feed call. To be a good caller, you have to be well grounded in the basic quack. We will work on this as a group and individually. Ryan will work with those that need to get the right amount of growl or grunt into the quack. Did you know that you can tell the maturity of a duck by their quack? Next, he will teach us cadence. How fast or slow you quack has meaning to a duck. more »
