Section 16 Hunting Club

Founded in the 1940s, Section 16 Hunting Club (Section 16) is an unparalleled duck hunting property where adventures begin and memories are made. Located in Monroe County, Arkansas, near Roe, the land is one of the Arkansas Grand Prairie’s time-honored sporting landscapes. The ground is a story of water, timber, ducks, conservation, and wingshooting sportsmen. 

Lost Island Bayou winds its way into the property from the southwest corner, flowing north and northeast for a full mile, where it meets Bayou LaGrue. Here, at the confluence of these waters, lies the heart of Section 16’s 760 acres, which has drawn both mallard ducks and avid duck hunters for over eight decades. Countless fall and winter mornings have been spent in the flooded timber of Section 16 working ducks into the numerous shooting holes with names like Hot Spot, Brook’s Hole, Johnson’s Hole, Turner, and Buck’s Hole (given for the legendary Nash Buckingham himself, who once hunted these hallowed grounds).

Adjacent to Wingmead, established in 1937 by Edgar Monsanto Queeny and long recognized as one of the nation’s legendary duck-hunting properties, Section 16 sits within 3.5 miles southeast of Peckerwood Lake, while the White River National Wildlife Refuge is only five miles to the east. The surrounding rice fields, natural wetlands, and managed hunting properties complete a landscape that serves as a magnet for ducks traveling the Mississippi Flyway to winter between the areas of Stuttgart, DeValls Bluff, and Clarendon.

The property is deep country and divides itself naturally between two worlds. In the flood pool, 410 acres of mighty oaks provide the acorns and shelter that draw mallards by the thousands annually. When waters rise in the autumn and winter, these woods transform into a flooded green-timber cathedral where 750 to 1,000 ducks are bagged each season. Above the flood line, another 280 acres of mature hardwoods provide refuge and high-grade habitat for trophy whitetail deer, many bucks with antlers exceeding 180 inches.

Under conservation easement protection, Section 16 represents more than just 760 acres of premium hunting ground—it’s a piece of Arkansas hunting and conservation legacy, and an investment in an exceptional tract of land that is in short supply. Section 16 is a place where the ducks go, where the sound of whistling wings quickens the pulse, and where new chapters of sporting life are written with each passing season.
