Guest paperwork

How we act on someone else's land. Read it like it matters — it does.

1. 1Drive and park only in designated areas marked on the Property Map on the Honker Nation website.
2. 2Do NOT contact the property Landowner for ANY reason.
3. 3Respect the 10-mph speed limit and be careful not to track up property if muddy.
4. 4If you open a gate, always close it behind you — so animals don't get out of the enclosed area, or unwanted people onto the property.
5. 5Consolidate vehicles before driving to the property — the fewer vehicles, the better.
6. 6Do not walk on the pit lids. Always enter and exit pits from the short side of the lid: find the short side, open one hole, jump inside, and open the rest from inside the pit.
7. 7Close all lids up tight before you leave — keep snow from filling the pit.
8. 8Always pick up all trash and empty shot shell casings. Always leave the property cleaner than you got there.
9. 9RESPECTING the properties is of utmost priority for Honker Nation. People make a living off this land and give us the privilege of hunting on it.
10. 10Be respectful and understanding when the farmer needs to work the land.
11. 11SAFETY FIRST. We highly recommend the Pit Boss have a safety discussion in the pit prior to hunting.

Reservations

Reservations need to be made by the “PIT BOSS” for each group on Monday morning beginning at 8:00 am, for Tuesday/Thursday, and Friday morning at 8:00 am for the weekend. You cannot book the same property twice during a booking week (Monday through Sunday). After booking opens, if more than one property is booked for a day by a group, both reservations will be deleted.

Reservations are now done on our online booking calendar at honkernation.com. Contact Honker Nation management if you have any trouble.
