West TN duck hunting has a long history of outfitting. I can remember stories of horse and buggies coming from all over to West TN just south of my home town of Dresden. This was before the channelization projects on the Obion river. We had thousands of acres of green timber and when it would come a rain they really pounded the ducks. The clients were called sports and the guides were called pushers. The guides basically pushed the boats around all day. Thank goodness for Mudbuddy motors now!
A little bit about our area. West TN duck hunting is surrounded by state and federal refuges. Here are some examples of numbers of just ducks in West TN that was counted by TWRA. These numbers are only on selected refuges. December 15th 335,000 total ducks in West TN. January 1st 443,000 total ducks. January 17th over 608,000 total ducks in West TN. Below I have listed the majority of the refuge’s that are located in West TN. Over the past few years the local state and federal governments have made significant improvement in ensuring that crucial food is planted for our waterfowl. Planting food for ducks in bottomland where ducks are is tricky business.
