Stuttgart, Arkansas · Since 2009
Flooded rice fields, field spreads, and real Arkansas waterfowl hunting guided by Jonathon Goins.
About Your Guide
I'm Jonathon Goins, and waterfowl hunting is what I do. Not as a hobby — as a way of life. For over 15 years, I've been in the timber before sunrise, setting decoys in frozen fields, and reading the weather like it's the only language that matters.
The Roost Hole isn't a corporate operation. It's me, the land I know around Stuttgart, and the birds that work it. I don't promise limits. I promise honest hunting — the kind where you earn it, respect it, and remember it.
We go where the birds go, and we do it right: small groups, proven setups, and no shortcuts. If you want a real hunt with a guide who lives this life year-round, let's talk.
What We Offer
We hunt the way birds want to be hunted. That means reading conditions daily, moving when we need to, and never settling for a second-rate setup. Every hunt type below has its own season and its own art.
Stuttgart's legendary rice field hunting. Mallards, pintails, and gadwall working flooded crops. Shallow water, big decoy spreads, and the sight of birds dropping feet-down at first light. This is what Arkansas waterfowling is all about.
Ducks and geese over large decoy spreads in harvested grain fields. We set up where they want to be — corn, rice, soybeans — and let them come. Timing and concealment are everything here, and we've got both dialed in.
Low-profile field hunting for ducks and Canada geese. Get flat, stay still, and watch them lock up over the spread. There's nothing like the moment a big flock of geese commits from 500 yards out. Pure, unfiltered waterfowling.
In the Blind
We're in the blind before sunrise when ducks are most active. No sleeping in — this sport rewards the early riser.
Quality decoy spreads and blind placement built from years of knowing exactly where birds want to land.
Professional calling techniques that bring birds in close. Jonathon knows how to read a flock and work them right.
Comfortable accommodations for out-of-town hunters. Call for availability and rates — spots go fast during peak season.

Reviews
Best duck hunt I've ever been on. Jonathon knows the birds, knows the land, and puts you where you need to be. No BS, just good hunting.
We limited out on greenheads by 9am. Jonathon had us in the perfect spot. Already booked for next season — wouldn't hunt anywhere else.
Real hunting, real guide. No fancy lodge nonsense. Just good setups and great shooting. This is what duck hunting is supposed to feel like.

870-830-3633Bring your shotgun, shells (steel shot required), valid Arkansas hunting license, warm waterproof clothing, and waders. We provide decoys, blinds, and calling. When in doubt, call ahead and we'll walk you through everything.
Most hunts are morning hunts when duck activity is highest. We start well before sunrise and make the most of those prime early hours. Afternoon hunts may be available depending on conditions and season.
Call or text 870-830-3633 to check availability. We'll discuss dates, group size, and hunt preferences. Book early — peak season fills up fast and we keep group sizes small by design.
Weather happens. If conditions are unsafe or truly unfavorable for hunting, we'll work with you to reschedule. We're hunters too — we understand the sport and will always be straight with you.
Lodging is available for an additional fee. Call 870-830-3633 for current availability and rates. We can accommodate multiple hunters comfortably — perfect for groups traveling from out of state.
We keep group sizes at 4 or more hunters. Small groups mean better setups, tighter blinds, and a more personal hunt. This isn't a crowd experience — it's a real guided hunt.
Ready to Go
Spots fill fast during peak season. The best dates go to hunters who call early. Don't spend another season watching other people's photos — come make your own.
