TRIP DETAILS
Are you interested in learning more about waterfowl hunting? Well here is your chance! Her Wilderness is excited to be able to offer you this amazing opportunity to learn about waterfowl hunting in the heart of North Dakota’s primary flyway. Due to two generous donors - we will be able to offer this unique learning and hunting opportunity to you for only $450. The North Dakota Wildlife Federation and Her Wilderness donated substantial amounts to the budget inorder to make this stellar price happen and available to you. We will kick off this trip with learning the basics about hunting waterfowl. Some of these basics include: how and why we set up decoys in specific ways, flying patterns of the birds, introduction to bird calling, bird identification, shooting techniques and the list goes on! As if the first day wasn’t action packed enough we will be able to apply our new knowledge to two days of scouting, setting up decoys and hunting! Be prepared to get your hands dirty because these two days will be all hands on deck.
Saturday, plan to arrive by 12:00 pm at Prairie Paradise Lodge to get situated in our lodge. Shortly after we will kick off the waterfowl clinic. We will spend part of the clinic outdoors so please dress accordingly. Once the clinic is complete we will practice our shooting skills and have a cookout (food for this cookout is included in the price). The remainder of the evening will be spent connecting with your trip-mates. Sunday will come early and you will head out to set up decoys, blinds and hunt. Following the hunt we will cover how to clean, package and transport the birds. This is an AMAZING learning experience you will not want to miss out on!!
