Hunters Experiences


Granite Springs has had the pleasure of hunting with folks from all over the country and a few Canadians during the last two seasons. Below are some of the comments from the last two years. I encourage you to call us and get some phone numbers of our previous guests from your area. No written comments can convey the enjoyment and satisfaction that a few moments of speech can. And we are proud to say that so far all of our guests have agreed to provide a reference.


Kevin & Brennon, What a great time we had at Granite Springs. When we first got there some of the guys were talking about other places to go and by the end of the first day everyone was talking about getting booked for next year. I enjoyed the entire experience. I will be the go to person again next year. What great people you have. I can't say enough about Ryan. What terrific young man. He knew his stuff. If you talk to Ryan or any of the others staff members and if they had any complaints about my guys, let me know. I personally will let them know and make sure things change for next year or they won't be invited back. I won't tolerate miss behavior. You went above and beyond everyones expectations. The experience will be talked about and remembered for a long time You are a good man Kevin. Thanks for a get hunt. Keep in touch. Tom Weatherford By the way I think I had the second most kills in the whole bunch. The birds were just flying my way.   Tom,  IA

Kevin, On behalf of Tom, Tim, Kevin, Kathy, Randy and Mike I would like to thank you for a truely unique and unforgetable hunting experience.

Hi Kevin this is Charlie from Mississippi, just wanted to take a minute to write and say thanks so much. This started out as a life long dream for my dad and wound up with even me a pheasant hunting fan. Everyone at Granite Springs goes way out of there way to make sure you have the best experience possible. Blair was a great guide and very down to earth, and made our days fun and entertaining. I could get very long winded about my experience but instead just give my number to anyone with questions, we can talk about great food, good fishing, and the best hunting you could ask for. You all helped me make my dads life long dream come true and for that I say thanks very much and good hunting. Charlie Callahan Jackson,MS

The Staff at Granite Springs-- We want to thank you so very much for the wonderful time we had staying and hunting at your lodge. Our experience with you folks was one of pleasure and gratitude. We will not hesitate to recommend your lodge to anyone that might be interested. We will think of you fondly whenever the subject of pheasant hunting comes up. Again thank you very much for your generosity and hospitality!! Dewey Brown (Travis' dad) Bill Eatock

Kevin,

This is Jim Bielak.

The Roost is fantastic, really more my speed.

I can't tell you what an experiance this has been. Years ago, when I first chartered a sport fishing day in Florida and caught a huge sailfish, I felt and said, "If I die tomorrow, I am content and have lived a life long dream". This week tops that. I have spent 5 years working towards this week and with the help of your organization I have achieved another life long dream. I only began hunting 15 years ago, bought my Ellie 5 years ago and have spent 5 years getting ready for this week. My 2 year old Cooper has also done me proud.

I don't know how to thank you enough and my friend Denny Kruse who introduced this all to me. Hunting has changed my life and Granite Springs is the the highlight.

I hope that we can return with you next year, and I hope to grow the group each year.

Who knows, I might even bring my wife and a daughter or two next year, I plan to buy her a 20 gauge for X-Mas.

Jim.

Brenan, I just wanted you to know how much fun I had at Granite Springs this weekend! My customer, Eduardo Ochoa from Southern, CA really enjoyed it too. Thanks for your wonderful hospitality, and I hope to see you again next year with some more new customers. You and Jim were fun to talk with, and everyone was great. Loved the food too! Take care, and safe hunting! John Miller, Auburn, WA

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Granite Springs for a wonderful hunt. Brennan, all the guides, (especially Al & Jim) went out of their way to ensure that our experience was first class. We can't say enough about the hospitality, food and accommodations last week - we will definitely be back! A special thanks to Jenn who let me tag along into Mitchell on Sunday. We also enjoyed having an opportunity to spend time with Gunner. Thanks again to EVERYONE! Wayne & Connie - Leesburg, VA

Larry, We had a great hunting retreat at Granite Springs out post in Ramona. Per our conversation this was the first of hopefully many hunting trips to Granite Springs for our Larson family. The hunting was great, exciting, and brought many memories along with some bragging rights for a few members. You’re accommodations in Ramona are great and we would like to book next years opener if it’s available. Regards, Tim Larson, MN


Brennan and Kevin, Well I made it home to Maine with no trouble. My three days at Granite Springs was the best time I've ever had hunting, and I've hunted a lot. The people there are all fantastic. Kudos to Brennan, Steve, Rob, Gary, and everyone else. It seemed everyone was just concerned with making sure we hunters had a great time. The family atmosphere was great. The hunting was simply awesome. The food was incredible. In short it was an amazing experience that I will not soon forget. I haven't heard from the taxidermist yet about my pheasant and chukah partridge. Hopefully he'll call me soon. I'm already planning for next year. Darrell - Carmel, Maine

Excellent hunting, but Brennan and Larry really go all out to make sure the whole vacation is carefree.

I really enjoyed the hunt and always felt that that it was our “hunt”. The guides showed us the fields and managed the dogs but it was our schedule and pace.
- Mark Westwater, Massachusetts

The food was unbelievable. The chef (not cook, chef) has a dish called Granite Springs Pheasant that was to die for. Each meal included fresh breads and desserts. The food was fantastic. Granite Springs is a first-class operation. The 8,000-square-foot lodge is brand new with six bedrooms and private baths for the hunter. The large rec room has a bar worth of the finest country club with a plasma TV over a gas log hearth.
- Jim Brewer, Virginia

This was a four days we’ll always remember. My wife, myself and our two Munsterlanders had a great time chasing the rosters with just Gary showing us the smaller fields that we could work without a big group.
- Dave Brown, Ohio

Book us for our entire family of ten for next year. Hunting was fantastic and your lodge is first class. We’ve hunted a lot of outfits over the years in South Dakota but this will be the first that we’ve all agreed to return too.
