About

The Wapanoca Outing Club (Turrell, Arkansas) hunting ducks on Wapanocca Lake in the early 1920s. Notable scenes of African American men piloting boats for the white hunters, an outdoor lunch with broiled duck, and women hunting.

Titles: "Forty years ago, in the heart or a howling wilderness, pioneer sportsmen from Memphis, Tennessee built a shack — —" "Then they bought some 5,000 odd acres of water, swamp and timber jungles and settled down to enjoy themselves —" "And then —" "The pioneers passed away, but their sportsmanship and rules of conservation have endured." "RULE 6. Members are not permitted to leave the boathouse before 7 A.M." "No guns fired on feeding grounds." "In 'Little Lake' we got our first view of 'a few ducks.'" "These fellows came over to saw 'Howdy.'" "At the entrance to Big Lake, Goose gangs blaring with the thunderous roar of myriad rising ducks drown the drumfire of our pulse." "Fast power boats kick up a dust." "Putting out the live decoys." "The first bird dropped out of this flight." "Missed him!" "Buck talking Duck." "Q-u-a-c-k Quack Quack." "Going to keep an important engagement — —" "— with the ladies at the Ritz." "Let Hard Times and Ole High Cos' knock at de' doh'." "Broiled teal and fried bacon an — an — ever'thing" "The afternoon is devoted to the lady-Nimrods." "Down in this part of the country the 'women folks' handle their own shooting irons 'to the Queen's taste.'" "To hit is history — To miss is mystery." "Sank, pick up the ducks." "Out of range."
