What a day at Glacial Lakes! 🇺🇸🧡

We started this morning with the Pheasants Forever Veterans Hunt, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to begin the day.

To the veterans who joined us today—and to all who have served our country—thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and the freedoms we get to enjoy because of you. It was an honor to spend the morning in the field with you. 🇺🇸

Then we wrapped up the day with the Pro Pheasants Youth Hunt, getting the next generation outdoors and into the field. There’s something pretty special about watching young hunters learn, make memories, and experience the excitement of a hunt. 🧡

From honoring those who served to encouraging the next generation of hunters, today was a reminder of what this is really all about—community, tradition, and time spent together in the outdoors.

Thank you to Pheasants Forever, Pro Pheasants, all of the volunteers, families, veterans, and young hunters who made today such a great one!

Days like today are why we love what we do at Glacial Lakes Hunting Lodge & Guide Service. 🐾🌾🧡

🍂🐦 This is what we wait all year for.

Cool mornings.
Dogs working the field.
Birds flushing from the cover.
Boots on the ground.
And stories being told around the table at the end of the day.

Fall at Glacial Lakes Hunting Lodge & Guide Service is about more than the hunt.

It’s time with family.
Time with friends.
Watching a young hunter experience it for the first time.
And making memories you’ll still be talking about years from now.

The birds are ready. The dogs are ready. Are you?

Book your fall pheasant hunt and make a weekend out of it with lodging right here at the lodge.

First release and first hunt of the season are officially in the books! 🐦🌾

We even got to bring our granddaughter along this morning to help release birds — making the start of the season a little extra special. ❤️

And have we mentioned how great these birds are?

Our birds are raised in large flight pens with plenty of grass and corn, giving them room to fly and develop strong, natural instincts.

Yes, we place the birds — but after that, it’s up to you and the dogs to find them. You still have to HUNT! 🐕🌾

That’s exactly how we want it at Glacial Lakes Hunting Lodge & Guide Service: good birds, good dog work, and a hunt you’ll remember.

Here’s to another great season! 🧡

Ready to get your hunt on the books? We still have dates available for this season. Send us a message or give us a call to reserve your hunt — we’d love to have you! 🐦🐕

🦆 Hunting season has a way of sneaking up on you…

Before you know it, the mornings will be cooler, the fields will be ready, and the sound of pheasants flushing will be back.

At Glacial Lakes Hunting Lodge & Guide Service, it’s about more than the birds. It’s the early mornings, the dogs working the field, the stories told afterward, and the people you share it all with.

That’s what we mean when we say — Where Memories Are Made.
