Testimonials
Southwind Outdoors is the exclusive Arkansas-area franchise of the
American Wildlife Association. Arkansas owned & managed, we are patterned after AWA's prototype club, Hunting
Sports Plus of Blue Springs, Missouri, with whom we share land. Here's
what some Southwind & HSP club members say about our unique approach to outdoor recreation
and their experiences...
John C.

"It has been a awesome experience hunting ducks on your properties.
Most enjoyable hunting I have ever done."

"I am very impressed with the club. I have had good days and
bad but, this is hunting. The ease of making reservations and
quality of land to hunt is outstanding."

"I
hunt, I hope I always will. I fish, I hope I always will.
I also like checking out new places to hunt and fish. Southwind
provides me that opportunity throughout Arkansas. I can fish on
my private lake for the day, dove hunt over farm fields, deer hunt in
hardwood bottomland timber, and I can duck hunt in a variety of places
from natural swamps to soybean & rice fields. If I want to work
hard enough to bring in a few thousand geese I can set up and work'em.
I'm glad I live in Arkansas and I'm glad I'm a member of Southwind
Outdoors."

"When the
program was first pitched to us, we thought it was a good idea,
however, we weren't quite sure that it would fit our lifestyle.
We were invited as a guest by one of the members to join them on a
hunt and that is all it took. We were not only impressed with the
property we hunted, we were also impressed that we had it all to
ourselves.
We can honestly tell you, when others we know that have leases, were
not shooting, we were in almost every location we went. As a matter
of fact, we ALWAYS saw ducks and ALWAYS pulled the trigger. And yes,
we came home with ducks!
We would encourage anyone that is looking to join a hunting lease,
club, etc. to seriously consider joining Southwind Outdoors. We would
love to invite anyone, at anytime, to ask us any questions they might
have, join us in a hunt or whatever we can do to let you know just how
great this club is."

"Hamilton,
just wanted to say what a great job you did with the flooded fields
this year. Great duck hunting. I could have taken my limit every
trip (except the first day) if I had wanted to. I love the Lonoke
fields."

Pine Bluff, AR
Member since 2003
"I
have been involved in several different hunting clubs in Arkansas over
the years. By far my membership in Southwind Outdoors has been
the most bang for the buck. I enjoy the opportunity to reserve
an area to hunt wildlife and not be pressured by other hunters.
Over the past ten years I have hunted ducks on public land. It was
always a concern that you would not make it to your favorite honey
hole first. The pressure is not there when you are a member of
Southwind Outdoors. Just pick up the phone or use the Internet site to
place your reservation. You can sleep a little longer in the
mornings knowing that you are not competing with several other hunters
for the same area. I would recommend Southwind Outdoors to anyone who
enjoys the sport of hunting. I suggest that you call around and price
hunting leases or guided hunts. I think you will be convinced
that the annual fees for membership to Southwind Outdoors is very
competitive."

"I
have really enjoyed hunting on Southwind Outdoors farms these past
three years. At first it was just one farm, but it was loaded with
ducks so I joined just for the ducks. Since then several farms have
been added that have wall hanger bucks on them. There are flooded
fields for ducks. One farm has a thousand acres of timber that is
loaded with squirrels, rabbits are everywhere, and there are some nice
fishing holes and private river access. And I've got it all just to me
and my boys. What else could I ask for?"

HSP Club Member Testimonials
William S.
Executive
Member since 1997
"My
Dad and I became frustrated hunting on public ground. Sometimes when
the sun came up, all you'd see is 'orange,' not fur. One morning there
were even
some guys sitting under our tree stand! It was time to find something else.
Since we joined HSP in 1997, we have been really pleased. I am able to
take my son now, and even my in-laws from California who have had some
of their best outings hunting duck and goose with us here.
The harvest reports have proven really valuable. I can read those and even
talk with other members that hunted the ground previously. With that information
and terrain maps available on the web, we can scout properties from home!
I honestly cannot recall a day hunting on club properties that we didn't
see some game.
Obviously, we're sold on the concept and eager to hunt the new properties
being leased by [AWA Clubs]. We also travel extensively in season and
look forward to reserving properties leased by other clubs in the American
Wildlife
Association. There's nothing else like it anywhere as far as I know!"

"I've been a member since 1995, and I have always gotten great service from
the people at Hunting Sports Plus. They are always attentive and have gone the
extra mile to make sure my party is always well taken care of. I spent about
15 days on HSP properties last year and really feel I got my monies' worth. You
can tell I'm really a "believer" in the concept and look forward to
the growth and success of [AWA Clubs]. It's sure to mean more opportunities for
me and other outdoorsmen as well!"

Earl K.
Manager
Member since 1995 "I
have been very satisfied throughout my 8 years of association
with Hunting Sports Plus. The people are always helpful and
friendly. The guest policies and
billing have been very convenient, and I especially like the early reservation
system for deer season. I am really sold on the concept and I look forward
to having more land to use in [the future]." |
