Accommodation either in Rice Lake or Hayward can be arranged can also be arranged, the site listed below allow pets, but by no means is a comprehensive list. Worst case, Summit Lake does offer dog kennels that we may use too if you run into difficulty in finding pet friendly accommodations.

The hunting will be on public lands, with some pre-mapped areas to assist the different groups. If you are new to the grouse woods, we’ll work to pair members up with more experienced members.This is Grouse Camp, so nightly social hour(s) will be conducted at Bunkhouse Cabin with a bonfire, weather permitting. If there is enough interest, we can setupa communal dinner on Saturday Night.

Hunting License information

To purchase a small game license, please use the following link to Wisconsin’s DNR non-resident License.

https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/GoWild/nonresident.html

If this is the first time you’re going to hunt in Wisconsin, I would encourage you to look at the Nonresident First-time Buyer option. To hunt woodcock, you must select the HIP certificate (at no cost) when purchasing your small game license. When hunting woodcock your firearm must be plugged to limit its total capacity to no more than 3 shells.

If you chose to try to get in a waterfowl hunt too, please ensure you purchase the Wisconsin Waterfowl Stamp too along with your Federal Waterfowl Stamp. All waterfowl hunting requires non-tox shot, while grouse and woodcock do not.

If you chose to hunt only at Summit Lake Game Farm for one of their field hunts, you are not required to purchase a Wisconsin Hunting License.

Please note: This event has been CANCELLED due to poor hunting conditions.  See President’s note on our News & Events page.

KlM-GNA will be conducting a Prairie Camp with a gathering point at Ramkota Hotel located in Pierre, South Dakota. This is an informal gathering in some of the most productive grasslands in North America.  South Dakota is #1 in the country for the harvest of wild pheasants. There is also a decent population of sharp-tails and prairie chickens in the area. There are thousands of acres of public hunting, including the Fort Pierre National Grasslands and many other walk-in areas, game production areas, and school and public lands. We also have access to private property on a fee basis on November 5th & 6th, reservations will be required.

We will plan to meet the evening of November 4th at the Ramkota Hotel, the event headquarters, for informal get together, a social hour and dinner from the menu. This would afford us the opportunity to discuss topics about the club and the dogs in a very informal setting. There are several good places to eat in or near Pierre, so we will leave November 6th open so groups can form and organize as they choose. Please feel free to arrive sooner or stay longer for more opportunities to hunt all other expenses will be the responsibility of the member.

Right now, we are just suggesting you do a couple of things:

      • First, make your reservation at the Ramkota or any other hotel you choose. We have a block of 15 rooms reserved under the title, “KlM-GNA Hunting Dog Club” for $96 per night plus tax at the Ramkota until August 1. Let them know you are with the Club to get the best rate. The hotel reservation number is: 605-224-6877. Cancellations can be made prior to 4 PM one day before checking in without charge, so if the event has to be cancelled there is no loss to you. I recommend making your reservation as soon as possible.
      • Let me know just by dropping me a quick email or text if you think you will be coming, if you might be interested in hunting the private property, if you have any ideas, or would like to help in any way. Official registration forms will follow later in the summer.
