FAQs

Arrive early for a continental breakfast at the lodge, then we will lead your vehicle out to the blind. You and your group will have your own blind (up to 4 people) on your own pond for your self-guided hunt. Return for a hot meal in front of the roaring fire, and your afternoon may be spent pheasant, goose, or dove hunting if in season before departing for home.

You’ll arrive the evening prior to your hunt to a home-cooked dinner and dessert. Enjoy friendly conversation around the fire or television throughout the evening. The following day of hunting is just like the Day Hunt above, but more relaxing. Roll out of bed just in time for a hot breakfast then out to the blind for a day of hunting. For more lodging questions, see FAQs below.

Property access is limited to participants of these scheduled events and reserved hunting dates.
