We will prioritize this event to first time upland hunters.

Our weekend blends education, practice, and a full day in the field with plenty of camaraderie and connection built in.

Truax Kennels will join us for a live hunting dog demo, and you’ll step into the action with a clay target shoot and friendly Annie Oakley competition. In the evening, we’ll settle into our cozy Wahpeton lodge, share a potluck dinner, and get ready for the hunt.
Saturday, October 18 – Field Hunt & Banquet
We’ll hit the fields in Hankinson, ND for a full guided pheasant hunt, putting Friday’s lessons into practice. Afterward, we’ll clean birds together (you’ll take home your harvest!) and enjoy lunch. The evening brings a special community moment, attending the Red River Area Sportsmen’s Banquet, where we’ll help with ticket sales for the 50/50 and meat raffles.
Sunday, October 19 – Farewell
A relaxed morning before we check out at 11:00 AM and head home with new skills, new friends, and a few great hunting stories.
All of the images above were taken by B’s Photography at our 2024 Pheasant Hunt Clinic. We’re excited to welcome her back for 2025, and the best part? Professional photos from the weekend are included in your trip cost!

Every trip we offer is designed to help you grow, connect, and feel truly alive. We know outdoor adventures can feel intimidating, especially if you’re new to it. That’s why our trips are women-only, designed to be welcoming, safe, and encouraging. No judgment. No pressure. Just a group of like-minded women supporting each other as we explore new skills and discover new passions.

TRIP EXPECTATIONS + NO DRAMA POLICY
At Her Wilderness, our goal is to provide a safe, fun, and empowering outdoor experience for every woman who joins us. That said, outdoor adventures come with a level of unpredictability, especially when weather, wildlife, and group dynamics are involved. We ask all participants to bring a flexible mindset and a positive attitude. Weather conditions, guide recommendations, and other factors may require last-minute changes to activities, schedules, or game pursued (for example, switching from a duck hunt to a goose hunt if conditions call for it). These decisions are made with your safety and the quality of the experience in mind. If adaptability and going with the flow are not things you're comfortable with, we respectfully suggest reconsidering your participation in our trips.
What You Can Expect:
Outdoor conditions may change plans—including hunts, hikes, or water access.
You may share lodging with others.
Some locations may have limited facilities.
There is no guarantee of harvesting a specific species.
We do everything we can to deliver a great experience—no matter the challenge.
What We Expect:
A respectful, go-with-the-flow attitude.
Willingness to adapt to changes in schedule or activity.
Zero tolerance for drama, negativity, or behavior that impacts the group.
We maintain a strict no-drama policy. Any participant who brings negativity, disrupts the group dynamic, or disrespects staff or others will be asked to leave without a refund and will not be invited back to future events. We are here to build community, confidence, and lasting memories in the outdoors. Thank you for being part of that mission and for helping us keep our trips positive, welcoming, and fun for all!
