Family Holiday Upland Hunting Package
Start your next family holiday tradition this season at Heartland Lodge! This year we are offering our “Family Holiday Upland/ Waterfowl Combo Hunt Package”! There’s no better way to experience a Midwestern Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s than at the lodge! Bring home delicious upland game and waterfowl to your next family holiday get-together. I can always remember growing up as a kid, my grandpa insisted we needed to harvest a goose for Christmas dinner!
Now you can step back in time and give your kids the experience you might have had growing up around the holidays. Spending a day in the field like it was done when you were a child will give them and you memories that will last a lifetime. You can start your own annual family hunting tradition and watch it continue with your grandchildren. You can bring the entire family and start an annual tradition! Holidays at the lodge!
In this Holiday Hunting Package, you will be able to experience a wide variety of wingshooting. Upland hunt half of the day with the finest bird dogs in the country and the other half of your day will be spent in the waterfowl blind (or boat) along the legendary Mississippi Flyway hunting for Canadian/Specklebelly geese or an array of ducks with world-champion waterfowl callers!
After a long day afield, relive the hunt and relax in one of our luxury lodges or cabins next to the fireside! -You can even roast some chestnuts by the fire đ Our luxury accommodations, gourmet meals, and professional-friendly guides and staff create a one-of-a-kind holiday hunting retreat that will be remembered for many years to come!
