Arkansas lifted the statewide ban on spinning-wing decoys as part of its 2008-2009 waterfowl regulations package at its monthly meeting August 21st at Little Rock. Duck hunters will be allowed to use spinning-wing decoys on both private and public land this season.

Last year showed duck hunters wanted to bring the spinning-wing decoy back. The commission banned spinning-wing decoys in 2004 with the expectation that other states in the Mississippi Flyway would ban them, too. None did except Minnesota, which has a provisional ban.

The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service sent us a letter in March to the Arkansas Game Commission saying that hunting with spinning-wing decoys had no demonstrable impacts on overall duck harvest rates or duck population levels. Commissioner Brett Morgan of Little Rock cast the lone dissenting vote. He said the UALR survey was flawed because several people were interviewed multiple times, and that there was no public desire to allow spinning-wing decoys.
