Waterfowl Unlimited is led by Mike Newsom, a third-generation waterfowl guide whose family legacy on and around Reelfoot Lake spans more than 150 years. His grandfather was a guide, his father was a guide, and today Mike continues that tradition while building on it in ways few outfitters ever have.
Under Mike’s leadership, Waterfowl Unlimited was voted the #1 Duck Hunting Guide Service in the United States by Game & Fish Magazine in 2016. Beyond guiding, Mike has spent years developing thousands of acres of waterfowl habitat across Tennessee and Arkansas, creating and improving properties along the Mississippi Flyway specifically designed to attract and hold birds throughout the season.
For Mike, it’s simple: build better habitat, put hunters where the birds are, and deliver an experience they’ll never forget.
Waterfowl Unlimited was chosen as the #1 duck hunting guide service in the U.S. in 2016 - Game & Fish Magazine.

This is my second year hunting with Waterfowl Unlimited Guide Service & Outfitters. I hunted Reelfoot Lake last year and it was an absolute blast! My guide was Zack last year, awesome guide, very knowledgeable and great personality keeping it fun.
Mike and his guides were awesome they went above and beyond for us! The guides were great and very positive and made some awesome meals in the blind. I could hunt with these guys everyday.
Had a great time with Zach and David on Reelfoot. Those guys worked hard at everything from loading gear, cooking to chasing ducks. If you’re looking for a top notch guide service check them out. I would 100% recommend them for a good hunt. Cant say enough good about em.
Mike, just wanting you to know that me, my boys, and my buddy had the best time ever hunting with Zach and Waterfowl Unlimited!!! The blinds were “top of the line”!!! The food was amazing, and we felt like family instead of clients!!! We will definitely be back to hunt with Zach, and Waterfowl Unlimited.
Wonderful experience with Ethan and Brandon. They both worked the ducks in frozen water and snow to give us a hunt of a lifetime. Beyond thankful for both of them and Mike to get us in this season. We are already looking for dates for our next trip. 5 Stars.
Been to reel foot with Mike the last 3 years was a great experience had tons of fun got to shoot some ducks while I was doing it
Couldn’t ask for better guides or better guys in general! Great experience, great people. Well worth it!
Consistency, access, and experience - built over generations in the field.
Hunters don’t come here by accident – they come for a reason. It’s the consistency. The locations. The understanding of how and where birds move across Tennessee and Arkansas. It’s knowing that when you step into the blind, everything has already been thought through – positioning, timing, and conditions.
At Waterfowl Unlimited, every hunt is built on generations of experience and a system refined over decades in the field near Reelfoot Lake and across the Mississippi Flyway.
The result is simple: better hunts, better opportunities, and an experience that keeps hunters coming back season after season.
