Our adventure begins on Friday at the Open Season Lodge in Sheyenne, ND. We're kicking things off with a bang with our Waterfowl Clinic  at 12:00 pm sharp on  Friday, where you will learn the ins and outs of waterfowl hunting. We will be covering everything from the art of decoy setups, bird identification, flying patterns  and calling, you'll be armed with all the knowledge you need to get you started or more comfortable in waterfowl hunting.

But the fun doesn't stop there! Bright and early on Saturday and Sunday, we'll gear up and get ready for hands-on experience where you will get the opportunity for a full on hunting DIT hunting experience. Once the hunt is over, we'll show you the ropes on cleaning, packaging, and transporting your hard-earned bounty. This is an experience you won't want to miss, so grab your gear and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!

EXPECTATIONS + NO DRAMA POLICY

There are times that our trips do not go exactly as planned or advertised. Mother nature plays a large role in how we are able to spend time outdoors. We ask that you come into every single Her Wilderness trip with a positive attitude and “go with the flow” mindset for the duration of your trip. If that seems unreasonable, we kindly ask that you do not register for our events. The weather is unpredictable and can impact hiking, hunting, fishing, and our number #1 priority, your safety! For example, if your trip is geared towards hunting ducks, but right now the guide can only confidently offer a successful goose hunt, we will go with the guide's recommendation. If a situation like this will upset you then please do not register for a trip with us. We expect every woman to have a positive attitude no matter the circumstances. We have had plenty of trips get canceled, rescheduled or have plans changed with no issues simply because the group was understanding and made the best of the situation they were given. We pride ourselves in how fun our trips can be even in the most unfortunate of circumstances. If you are often considered “high maintenance” or tend to get stressed out then we kindly want to let you know that our trips are not a good fit for you. You may have to share a bed with a stranger, the weather may not allow us to participate in an activity, there may not be any showers available, there may only be 1 bathroom for 10 women, you may not harvest the animal you wanted to get, there could be someone on the trip that you just don’t vibe with. All of these scenarios are real and they happen. We will do our best to filter and prevent what we can before it becomes an issue. All of our trips and events are a drama and stress free zone! If you are the source of any drama you will be asked to leave with no refund given. We always want to ensure that our customers are comfortable and taken care of. We will always ask that you have a cool, calm and collected attitude. If you are unable to maintain a good attitude in a variety of circumstances we kindly ask that you refrain from registering for a trip. We appreciate each and everyone of our customers and want to ensure the best experience for all of our attendees!
