MEET THE TEAM

Rob Hansen is the driving force behind Leg Iron Outfitters, a premier waterfowl hunting operation based in Biggers, Arkansas. A lifelong outdoorsman and avid waterfowl hunter, Rob has built his reputation on a foundation of grit, hospitality, and an unwavering commitment to delivering unforgettable hunting experiences.

Originally from Missouri, Rob grew up chasing ducks, learning the nuances of waterfowl behavior, habitat management, and guiding from an early age. His passion for the sport evolved into a vision: to create a world-class destination where hunters could experience the best of the Mississippi Flyway.

In 2016, Rob brought that vision to life with the founding of Leg Iron Outfitters. Under his leadership, the operation has grown to encompass more than 44,000 acres of prime Arkansas farmland, including rice, corn, soybean fields, and private green timber. With a dedication to top-tier customer service and results-driven scouting, Rob and his team have become known for consistently putting hunters on birds, day in and day out.

Rob is not only a seasoned guide but also a skilled land manager, investing year-round in habitat improvement, blind placement, and seasonal scouting to ensure long-term success. He personally oversees every detail of the operation - from hand-picking experienced guides to crafting hunter-friendly lodging - to ensure every guest leaves with a full strap and a story to tell.

I AM SELF-TAUGHT IN WATERFOWL HUNTING, LEARNING FROM FRIENDS, FAMILY, EMPLOYERS, AND ANYONE WILLING TO MENTOR ME. GROWING UP HUNTING WITH OTHERS, I'VE REALIZED THAT WITH WATERFOWL HUNTING, YOU NEVER STOP LEARNING. BEING IN THE BLIND, OBSERVING AND LISTENING TO FELLOW GUIDES AND THE ANIMALS THEMSELVES, HAS BEEN AN ONGOING EDUCATION.

I'VE BEEN A BENELLI GUY MY WHOLE LIFE, BUT RECENTLY I'VE BEEN USING A BROWNING A5 16GA

I GREW UP IN CAMERON PARISH, LOUISIANA, HUNTING THE MARSHES AND RICE FIELDS IN SWEETLAKE, THORNWELL, WELSH, AND GUEYDAN. MY PARENTS OWNED A GUIDE SERVICE SPECIALIZING IN WATERFOWL AND INSHORE FISHING FOR 40 YEARS, PROVIDING ME WITH NUMEROUS MENTORS IN THE HUNTING WORLD. MY BIGGEST INFLUENCE IN BOTH HUNTING AND FISHING WAS MY FATHER.

BENELLI M2 20GA
BENELLI VINCI 12GA

GREW UP ON THE ILLINOIS RIVER HUNTING AND FISHING PRETTY MUCH YEAR ROUND. I ALSO SPEND A GOOD BIT OF TIME DUCK HUNTING ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. POOLS 18 AND 19 MOSTLY. BETWEEN THE ENDLESS CORN AND BEAN FIELDS UP AND DOWN THE RIVER VALLEYS AND THE VAST BACKWATERS OF BOTH RIVERS MY DAD AND I RARELY HAD TROUBLE FINDING A PLACE TO CHASE DUCKS OR HONKERS AS A KID. UNLIKE MOST OF MY BUDDIES THAT GREW UP WATERFOWLERS OR DEER HUNTERS, I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GROW UP CHASING ALL THE GAME ONE COULD LEGALLY PURSUE IN ILLINOIS. MY FATHER WAS A BIG UPLAND ENTHUSIAST AS WELL AND WE HAD GOLDENS AND GSPS GROWING UP THAT WE USED FOR WATERFOWLING AND UPLAND PURSUITS, NOT ONLY THAT, BUT DEER HUNTING HAS BEEN A HUGE STAPLE IN THE FAMILY FOR DECADES, AND WHO CAN RESIST THE THRILL OF CHASING BIG ILLINOIS BUCKS IN SWEET NOVEMBER? SO I FELL VICTIM TO THAT AS WELL.

I GREW UP ON A FAMILY FARM WHERE WE RAISED RODEO STOCK AND HORSES. MY GRANDMOTHER ALSO RAN A DAIRY FARM WHERE I SPENT A LOT OF TIME AS A KID. ALTHOUGH MY FAMILY PRIMARILY HUNTED DEER, MY PASSION FOR DUCK HUNTING BEGAN AT AGE 8 WHEN MY UNCLE TOOK ME OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME. EVER SINCE, I'VE BEEN DEDICATED TO CHASING DUCKS.
