Lone Buffalo- Pre-season Bird Dog Fun Day
Description: Bring your “hard working hunting companions” and your trusty shotgun to see how that off-season rust shakes off. Before that next big hunt, see where your dog is after that summer break, or figure out what skills you need to touch-up before heading afield this season. Come enjoy a great day in a preserve hunting environment at one of Missouri’s Premier Upland Hunting Preserves, frequented by some of the most die-hard bird hunters in the Midwest. This event is being held at Big Buffalo Outfitters in Stover, MO on September 29, 2024. Registration will begin at 7:00 am and Hunting begins promptly at 8:00. Running order will be pre-determined by random draw once all of the slots are full. Handlers will be notified of the time they have drawn and are asked to be on-site at least an hour ahead of their draw time to ensure we can keep the program moving in the event another dog pulls. Raffles will also be held, and plan to spend the whole day because we are drawing for clean-up hunts in the fields after the event is over. Tickets for clean up hunts will be available day of and will entitle the winner to an hour in one of the fields for a clean-up hunt.
