Looking for a good deal on some duck hunting waders? If you enjoy the outdoors, there’s a good deal for you – and at the same time you can do a good deal for Arkansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry.

A new sale – Duck Duck Hunt – is a one-day deal, 7 a.m.-6 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 22, which happens to be National Hunting and Fishing Day. Several hunting seminars will be presented including squirrel, deer and duck sessions. Parking and admission are free.

First, round up your used but serviceable hunting, fishing and other outdoor gear: clothing, waders, rods, reels, tackle boxes, hats, tents, cots, sleeping bags, boots, bows, arrows, deer stands, decoys, packs, knives, blinds, gun cases, canoes, kayaks, paddles, life jackets, wildlife prints, duck calls, lanterns, camp stoves, targets, binoculars, turkey calls, etc. Guns will not be accepted.
