This event is a 1 day social meetup that does not include lodging. The town of Alexandria is a popular tourist destination with many hotel and private home rentals that can be found on Airbnb or VRBO apps. Once you are registered for this event, you can decide whether you would like to commute the same day, book a private stay with your loved one, or rent a larger home with other couples in the group. If you prefer to bring your own sleeper ice house onto the lake to stay in overnight, you are also welcome to do so. Please be mindful that ice conditions can change at any time, preventing the possibility of a large ice house accessing the ice.
TARGET SPECIES, REGULATIONS AND PROCESSING OF TAXIDERMY OR MEAT HARVEST PLAN.
Your coordinator will be selecting a lake in the Alexandria area to meet on, as the date gets closer. We will be fishing in a large vicinity working together to catch fish with a multitude of tactics. Bring your fishing poles, variety of tackle, vexilars or live sonar. Portable pop ups and hub styled houses are also welcome. However you prefer to catch fish, we want you to feel free to move around and talk with other couples on what they’re using and what’s working! Many lakes in the Alexandria area hold a variety of fish including Walleyes, Crappies, Bluegills, Pike, and Perch. The slot and possession limit can change depending upon the lake. Your coordinator will communicate slot and possession limits to you as the event date gets closer. If you decide to keep your catch, you will be responsible for cleaning your own fish after departing this event. If you catch an unbelievable fish that you would like to mount, our group will have plenty of taxidermy recommendations to go around!

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!
