About
It is hard to believe roughly a year ago, we lost our dear friend and legend of conservation Marion McCollum. He not only leaves a legacy for the institution that is Mack's Prairie Wings but also his passion for getting the next generation of Arkansans involved in the outdoors.To honor his legacy, the Board of Directors of the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation has created the Marion McCollum Youth Shooting Sports Fund to benefit the program he so dearly loved. Foundation President Emeritus Witt Stephens, a longtime friend and colleague of Marion's, established "Mallards for Marion" as a tribute to Marion's years of service to Arkansas's outdoors.
Mallards for Marion consists of duck hunts across the Grand Prairie for the upcoming 2024-25 waterfowl season and will feature some of Arkansas's most storied hunting clubs and duck holes.Funds raised from the campaign will directly benefit Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Youth Shooting Sports Program to expand coaches training seminars and classes, access to shooting facilities, as well as equipment needs.If you have any questions, please contact AGFF president Deke Whitbeck at 501-831-3382.
