As soon as things settle down around here I will definately come and run some dogs with you.

I am planning on attending the get together, but then I better lay low for a week or three.
 
I'm still waiting to hear from several members and will send them a PM today to see if they are coming.

I want everyone to remember the cost for the hunt at the Minnesota Heartland Preserve with be $70 ($17.50 per bird, 4 bird minimum).

The plan is still to meet at the preserve around 11:00 AM, have some lunch and time to get to know one another. As for the lunch. Because our group is quite small and the preserve does not have food available, goldeneye and I have decided to bring lunch for everyone. We are planning on Sloppy Joe's, chips, a brownie or some type of bar and some bottled water. We will just charge everyone enough to cover our expenses. Shouldn't be more than $4-5 a person. Cheaper than having something catered. Does that sound okay to everyone???

As we get closer next week I will post all the final details.
 
Zeb, not sure if this matters or not but my gun is at the cabin for turkey season and I won't have a dog since I will be coming from the farm so unless you guys NEED a shooter it looks like I will be a full time spectator. Hope that's alright. Feel free to put me to work with event tasks when I'm onsite.

That will be fine with me.



@ UGUIDE shoot my gun I was thinking with all these pointing dogs I would like to see if my dog would back point if not I may want to work on that. So you can shoot my birds that would be great. (Don't miss there expensive:D)
Then if it works I would love to get a picture of the pup backing point.:thumbsup:
 
UPH Hunt - April 16th

Okay people here's the official scoop for this coming Saturday, April 16th.

Minnesota Heartland Preserve
Granite Falls, MN
Located 1 1/2 miles north of Hwy. 212 on Hwy 23. The lodge is on the west side of the Hwy. You can't miss it.
http://www.minnesotaheartlandpreserve.com/

Plan to arrive at 11:00 AM. We will have a "Meet & Greet", time for some lunch and then decide how we want to handle the hunts.

If anyone is interested in shooting a round of trap prior to the hunt that is available at the lodge also. I think $8 for a round of 25. Bring your own shells or they have some there. I think it would kind of fun to shoot a round prior to taking to the field.

Make sure to wear Blaze Orange. It is a requirement of the preserve.

Lunch will be served between 11:00 & Noon. Sloppy Joe's, chips, brownies and beverage (pop & water). Cost will $3. Can't beat that!

Remember, SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY! This can never be stressed enough.

Weather forecast at this time for Saturday is partly sunny, breezy and a high of 44.

Here is a list of who I have coming:
Dakotazeb
goldeneye
goldeneye's wife
GustavDaGSP
teal dog
Tbear
Tbear's girlfriend
Lazlo
jeffstally
fourtrax

Hope the weather changes for the better again.
