UPH get together or Spring kick off to Dog training and shooting.

Bring family and friends if you like.

If you don't have a dog perfect use mine. (He likes to run)



What would you guys think about meeting in Granite Falls MN April 2 at a game preserve?

$17.50 per bird Min. 4 birds per gun (ROOSTERS ONLY No Hens) We as a group can hunt all day no time limit. Large meeting room for us to use also. Could do a pot luck for lunch?



In town there is a casino rooms start around $90 a night.

PM me if you would like more detailed info.

Please respond if interested.

If we have interest I need to call the game farm to set a firm date & group size and maybe we can get discount group rates for those that will be staying over night.
I know there will be lots of questions but lets try to keep this FUN and Easy.
 
It would be a blast. I have some health issues right this second and just can't commit.

Super offer Lee, very nice of you to put something together
 
Lee, count me in. I'd also love to run my Brittany for anyone that doesn't have a dog or anyone that might want to hunt behind a pointer. Any ideas on a start time that day? I've got about a 3 hour drive so don't make it too early. :)

I would like to wait for a couple weeks then I will tell them a rough number of people and ask questions then.
A start time is a good one I would have thought of that the night before.
Anymore questions post them up. Keep it easy :cheers:

My better half as she says:rolleyes: will be going also so I hope other spouse's will be there.
 
Thanks for stealing my thunder goldeneye :laugh: I told u we would have more people wanting in before we knew it keep em coming the more the marry! I think we are going to have more dog's than hunters :thumbsup:
 
Before we get far on this gathering, how many people can the preserve accommodate in one day? Is it an issue?

as of now I only count five people hopefully more will post if they can make it this weekend i'll call them on monday and start things going.
 
It is prime habitat project kickoff time but I may be able to coordinate a stop in Granite on way out to farm:D I'll try to drag webguy with. He would make a great MC.

If you guys want to do this, I can help promote this. If that date is confirmed, let's get the details to me and I'll get a write up to get people involved.

I'll be there for support.

I bet he will even provide hats.
 
Sounds fun, but I will not make it most likely. Trial season is on for me till June so I will be busy. I posted in the MN area before I saw this. Check out the idea I put up there too. It will be cheaper as well and I have a shooting preserve we can use here as well possibly so we may be able to avoid you sending in for free permits, but that is real easy too. Birds are 8-9 $ for either hens or roosters, and 4 bucks for pigeons if prefered. Any weekend most all summer long.
 
I wish I could make it to but like FC, I got trainning for HRC hunt trials this year
 
Come on FC and Hyde, fit it in. I've got trials too and I plan to come. I will be in Iowa for a trial the weekend before and in Montana the weekend after.

What better training, then to put the dog on some birds.

If you want to do a get together at your place this summer post a date. It sounds like fun I could bring quail or chuckers also if needed. I have a remote bird launcher we could use for the smaller pups.

I know the prices at the preserves are costly but I think Granite Falls is a good central location for a few of us. If you don't want to pay for birds but can show up shoot my birds while I work with the dog.
I think Zeb said he would buy us all drinks afterwards:D
If the date doesn't work for you and you can't make it thats alright.

Yea we'll have to do that. And I never shoot my birds either so thats a good point. I will see what dates I will be done trying to chase the dream.:D It would be neat to see all the different dogs work.
