Question 2

Do your guides carry a gun?

Accepted Answer

No, our guides are managing their dogs and the hunt.  Their job is to put birds in the air, recover them after they are shot and to ensure that the hunt is conducted ethically and safely.

Question 3

Do I need a Hunter's Safety Card to purchase a license?

Not unless you are under the age of 16. Then, you need a previous license from the state of South Dakota or a hunter's safety card and a parent or guardian must sign the license.

Question 4

What ammunition can I shoot?

Accepted Answer

You must shoot 4, 5 or 6 shot. In a 12 gauge, we recommend 2 3/4", 1 1/4 oz. of shot and 3 3/4 drams minimum powder charge. Three inch magnums are not recommended for a 12 gauge as they are much slower. In a 20 gauge, a 3" magnum is recommended.
