A buddy of mine in MS wants me to go hunting with them on the Miss River next weekend. He thinks that Arkansas will be locked up from the cold and a lot of ducks will move to the river. What do yall think?
I think that a few Ducks aren't worth risking your life over.
If they aren't properly outfitted, you are tempting fate.
I think he'd better be a veteran river hunter and know the area you'd be hunting really well. With the high water, the wing dikes and underwater obstructions are not visible and are just waiting to take out you lower unit or worse! That river is scary in the summertime when it is in its banks. Right now, there are whole trees coming down the swift current and I will not run the river unless I am with someone who knows its every twist and turn. It will have chunk ice in it the next few days, as well. Unless you have a very large boat and are with someone who lives on that river...don't do it!
That said, there are few places that can compare for duck hunting to those back water eddies when the fields are frozen.

I would be on the White or Cache River!
