Philip Tappan has spent the past four and a half years serving on the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission and now chairs the Rules & Regulations Committee at the AGFC. With the Commission’s proposed changes for the 2026–27 and 2027–28 seasons now on the table, from expanded non-motorized walk-in areas on WMAs to another proposed 60-day, six-duck framework, the conversation around the future of Arkansas duck hunting is still buzzing despite the season ending.
In this episode, the guys take a measured look at what’s being proposed, unpack the philosophy behind the decisions and wrestle with a familiar topic of balancing opportunity with what is best for the resource.
As always, it’s a candid conversation rooted in respect for the resource, the tradition and the responsibility we all share as Arkansas waterfowlers.
