Episode 7: Looking through the lense of Arkansas hunter and photographer Darren Meharg
If you’ve ever watched a flock of ducks flying in right before shooting light, you know it’s a riveting and spellbinding experience. It’s a tough moment to capture on film, yet Darren Meharg, a duck and turkey hunter out of Judsonia, Arkansas, has done just that many times.
Arkansas duck season lasts about 60 days. You can find Darren out in the field for at least 40 of those, hunting the woods and wetlands for everything from mallards to teal. But it’s not just the thrill of the hunt that pushes him outdoors every free moment he has — it’s also a love for observing and photographing the landscape and wildlife, which he does with a variety of equipment.
In this episode of The Slayer Hunting Podcast, Darren shares his passion for Arkansas duck and turkey hunting, as well as his strategies for capturing his quarry on camera.
