DEBORAH DUNKLIN TIPTON
Co-Owner
“In 1907, our grandfather L.A. Black began acquiring farmland in the Grand Prairie of Arkansas. This was the beginning of the Dunklin-Black family tradition of farming, hunting and conservation. It is a pleasure for us to share Five Oaks Duck Lodge with our friends and guests.”

“We can’t control the weather nor can we control the hatch, but we can control the quality of our habitat.  I truly believe providing quality habitat is the key to high hunting success. Have you ever heard anyone blame a poor hunt or low duck numbers in an area on poor habitat conditions? Think about it! Maybe folks are overlooking the major reason duck hunting success in certain portions of the country have changed over the past twenty years.”
