Strong professional partnerships are based on shared visions and the blending of individual strengths to achieve common goals. We have many partnerships that fit that description, but today, we want to highlight Arkansas Delta Waterfowl. The Jonesboro Wild Wings Chapter made a generous donation of ducks calls that will soon find their way into the hunting bags of new hunters. We can teach someone how to blow a duck call in a classroom, but giving them the knowledge to do it and the tools to practice those skills is where the magic happens.

Thank you, Wild Wings Delta Waterfowl!
