Hosts Ronnie Philips and Logan Burditt along with their team visit Cadillac Creek Arkansas, which is known for its large flocks of mallards, pintails, and specklebellies. The hunting grounds are unique as they are a mix of flooded timber, rice fields, and soybean fields.

Ronnie and Logan are optimistic about their chances of getting some good shots as they spot several flocks of ducks and geese in the area.
The next morning, the team sets up their decoys and blinds in a flooded field. They opt for a low-profile blind as it makes it easier for them to blend in with the surrounding environment and stay hidden from the ducks. Once the setup is complete, they wait patiently for the first flock to arrive.

The boys use a variety of calls to lure the birds in and make sure they are within range before taking their shots. The birds come in from all directions, making it challenging for the team to keep track of them. However, they manage to get some excellent shots and bag several mallards and pintails.
The boys switch to a new location in the afternoon – a flooded timber area. This spot requires a different approach as the ducks tend to fly low and fast through the trees. The team sets up a unique blind, designed to blend in with the natural surroundings of the trees. They wait patiently for the ducks to fly in, and when they do, the action is fast and furious.
The team uses their shotguns to take down the birds, and the adrenaline rush of the hunt is evident on their faces. The ducks keep flying in, giving the team a chance to bag more birds. However, this spot is challenging, and the birds are quick to pick up on any signs of danger. The team must be quick and precise with their shots to ensure they get their birds.
