The “Duck House” and “Ranger Base Darby” are used for serving great Americans during the Arkansas hunting and fishing seasons. Today, groups of Soldiers – from all services in the Special Operations community – are our guests for a weekend. 

Donations to Darby’s Warrior Support go towards providing the food, transportation, all required equipment and supplies and other miscellaneous hunting lodge expenses and land development costs. DWS is committed to giving everything we can back to our Soldiers, and we have been able to sustain a program over the years that covers all Soldier expenses other than a hunting or fishing license (less than $135). We are transparent and professional in all that we say and do. The DWS business model for long-term sustainment is built on volunteers – with only 2 full time employees (Operations and Admin Managers) The generosity of our many donors and sponsors has enabled us to serve those who have and continue to bravely serve. Only through your continued support will we be able to sustain this effort.

From the pictures in the gallery you can see that we offer a unique and very powerful way for these soldiers to enjoy fellowship and the sport of waterfowl hunting.

We fully understand the sacrifice required of our Military families as training events, deployments and duty station moves begin to mount over the years. Capitalizing on youth-only designated seasons and allocating other weekends throughout the year, our Youth Hunting program is designed to offer an unforgettable weekend in the woods or on the water for a Soldier and his son or daughter.

Experienced or novice hunters (parent or child) are welcome to join us for a deer hunt or a duck and deer combo hunt. Our guests spend the first morning on the shooting range and then head to the woods to hunt. Sitting beside your child watching the woods come alive, harvesting an animal, or just watching nature’s show offers an opportunity to reconnect at a meaningful level. The memories are priceless and offer all something to hold onto when the Soldier is inevitably called away again.

Stay tuned as we look to add trout fishing opportunities to our menu, since Arkansas boasts of some of the best trout fishing in the world on the Little Red and White Rivers.

In February 2013, the Jubilee Foundation Inc., became the owner of 267 acres of NE Arkansas wetland duck hunting property.  In November 2015, Jubilee Foundation Inc. purchased another 242 acres of farm / moist soil property.  Both tracts of land were gifted for use to Darby's Warrior Support.  In honor of Francis Marion, one of America’s earliest combat rangers, and John Mosby, another early-American combat ranger, the properties have been named “Swamp Fox” and “Gray Ghost” respectively.

In 2015, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recognized Darby’s Warrior Support’s efforts to serve the our current generation of veterans and dedicated a large tract of land for the exclusive use of the organization’s guests.  Documented on all USF and WS maps and products.

Throughout Arkansas, the wealthy have their private hunting places. After this generous donation, our Special Operations guests have their own place as well. Darby's Warrior Support now controls or has near-exclusive access to approximately 4,000 acres of prime hunting property which the organization will utilize to serve those who have bravely served our nation.  Our deepest gratitude goes out to the our committed board members, friends, donors, volunteers and patriotic helpers who have made this dream come true.

When we have our welcoming reception for the Rangers, Chick-Fil-A provides vittles for over 40 people for free. Next time you get your chicken biscuit, please thank them for us.

DWS thanks FowlQuest for donating mechanical decoys for our duck hunters to use. High quality decoys and waterfowl equipment are their speciality, and their support of the military is appreciated.

Yeti and Hays Judsonia donated 2 large Yeti Coolers for DWS use, plus Hays donated Robo Ducks and numerous other items.
