As dawn broke over the flooded timber
near Stuttgart, Arkansas, Dallas Cowboys
owner Jerry Jones and the four Dallas
hunters Ray Jim Bell, Jack
Marks and Bill Williams were ready for
a fantastic morning of hunting.
It didn't take long flocks of mallards,
and he'll soon have the hunters busy.
Stuttgart, Arkansas, is the duck hunting
capital of the world.
And we're in an area where if
you have water, the ducks are here.
Fortunately, this morning we had
it. The ducks came in intermittently.
We got to see the shooting scale of some
of our group this morning.
Some of them need to go back and take a
little skeet shooting practice, wanting
to get back to lodge.
There were so many flights of ducks at
times you couldn't tell who shot and made
the hit. But duck guy Jimmy
Green of Stuttgart did a great job
of calling him in and picking up the
ducks.
Ray Utley and Jack Mark summed
up the hunt this way.
I thought I did great gig complain
a couple of times, but I got three people
to limit tell.
This had to be right.
One of the best trips I'd guess probably
is their own.
Duquan
Dallas hunter Jim Bell added his praise.
Just the number of ducks that just kept
coming in and the color was fantastic.
Had a great job bringing them in, really
enjoyed it.
Of course, the real winner on this outing
is Ducks Unlimited.
Do you celebrated its fiftieth birthday
this year? Bill Williams of Dallas
tells why.
And to see people raising money
working for the ducks.
And that just doesn't help ducks.
It helps all kinds of wildlife
and the money being raised
to build dams, levees, dikes
to preserve our
national heritage of waterfowl
and wildlife.
There's not a better organization in the
world.
The hunt was over in an hour and a half,
just as the sun started its climb.
We thought this was a good scene to
leave. Stuttgart, Arkansas.
