TRIP DETAILS + INFORMATION

We are heading to Almyra, AR  for an amazing weekend hunting early season specks! This will be a trip to remember as we are heading to one of the top places to hunt waterfowl in the country! Plan to arrive after 5 pm on Friday where we will meet at the lodge and head to dinner. Saturday morning we will be headed out to the field to attempt to get our limit of specks! If we do not hit our limits we will go back out in the afternoon. If we smoke them in the morning we will have the afternoon to do whatever we please. The famous Mack’s Prairie wings is not far from the lodge and is a MUST SEE. Sunday morning we will hunt again and head out after our morning hunt.

We will be staying in the outfitters Hunting Lodge. The house has 3 large bedrooms 2 with sets of bunk beds and 1 with a queen bed. The hunting lodge has a full kitchen where we can cook meals if we choose to eat in! There is a spacious living room to hangout and relax in. There is only one bathroom, so make sure you are respectful of others time! The lodge will be located anywhere from 30 min - 1 hour depending on where the guide will be having us hunt.

TARGET SPECIES, REGULATIONS AND PROCESSING OF TAXIDERMY OR MEAT HARVEST PLAN.

We will be targeting Specks! Specklebelly Geese, whose actual name is the Greater White-Fronted goose, get its name “Specklebelly” from the beautiful black-mottled bellies found on the adult birds. Along with their unique speckled bellies, these birds can also be distinguished by the call they make in flight. Their call is commonly described as a high pitched laugh, which gives them their other nickname of “Giggle Chickens”. Our gracious guides will be breasting out our birds for us to take home. You have the option to bring back one of the gorgeous birds to mount if you wish!

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!
