    Ducks Unlimited: They Hunt Ducks to Save Ducks? The Truth About Ducks Unlimited

    What if hunters are actually some of the biggest conservationists in America? Dana and Amanda sit down with Ben from Ducks Unlimited to uncover what the organization really does and why protecting ducks is about much more than ducks. From saving wetlands and protecting water supplies to preserving wildlife habitat for future generations, this conversation may completely change the way you think about conservation. Ben also shares how getting involved with Ducks Unlimited inspired him to go back to school for wildlife conservation, how Arkansas raised more than $3 million for conservation in 2025, and how one Northwest Arkansas chapter raised nearly $100,000 through local events. Plus, famous ducks, duck hunting, auctions, a Polaris side by side, trips to Italy, skeet shooting, and the upcoming Benton County Ducks Unlimited banquet. This is conservation, community, and giving back in a way you probably never expected.
