What Hunters Say

What a great place! And Terrific people. We have hunted with Darren for 2 years and he will put you where you need to be. Great private hunting potholes and comfy blinds. Darren makes it fun and will take care of everything!!!! Amy has done a fantastic job on the cabin and the accommodations. We have hunted a lot of places... there are none better.

I have been hunting waterfowl for over 20 years and have hunted with many guide services. I can tell you both the quality of the hunt and the personalized service the DNA team provides are second to none. DNA has built and cultivated a privately-owned ecosystem for ducks that is both comfortable for the hunters within their state-of-the-art blinds as well as provides a sheltered breeding ground for ducks and migratory birds. The combination leads me and my family to the hunt of a lifetime. If you're considering duck hunting in the Midwest you have to consider DNA Guide Service.

I decided to go with my father and one of his friends last minute, and upon arrival we were greeted as if we were longtime friends or even family, Darren is one of those people who you could talk to for days about duck hunting and never run out of news things to learn from him that come from a lifetime of duck hunting. DNA Guide service is the most convenient, accommodating guide service I have experienced. I'm counting down the days to going back again the weekend of Halloween and hopefully for years to come.

Kudos to Darren Lang at DNA Guide Services (Clinton, MN) for another super duck hunting experience on the sloughs of western MN. Lodging at the Lakeside Cabin was great...restful and scenic, right on Big Stone Lake's Mallard Point. We limited out on the first morning with 24 Ringbill ducks in the bag! Definitely a memorable experience!

Been duck hunting for 25 years but this year's hunt with DNA OUTFITTERS ranks with the best of them. Darren and Amy are the ultimate professionals. Shooting incredible (first time I run out of shells). Great variety of ducks accommodations great and if you get cold go warm up and shoot again. Would recommend to all my friends to try hunting here with DNA Outfitters. Incredible experience. A+++++

I had a great time with you. Thank you again for making the most out of our short 3 days. You packed in a lot of great action in such a short period. I also appreciated seeing all the cool things you are doing to restore the environment and recreating great areas for the future of ducks! The Lodge was perfect and outfitted in a first class manor. I couldn't have hoped for anything more.

Top notch, from the lodging to the hunting you're guaranteed to have a great experience and take home memories to last a lifetime. The Lang's go above and beyond to make sure your stay is everything you hoped and more. Darren's passion for conservation will leave you inspired to do your part to help preserve habitat that not only benefit waterfowl, but all living organisms that make up the delicate ecosystems. This isn't the first time l've visited this paradise, and it certainly won't be the last. My wife and I thank you again for the great memories!

Darren and Amy are such warm-hearted and caring people. They pour their heart and souls into the people they interact with. On top of that, the hunting is phenomenal and the lodging is top notch. Highly recommend their service.

DNA sort of exemplifies, "If you build it they will come..." With their own resources, money, and sweat they built an incredible slough where once there was a sterile cornfield. As our hunt with them proved ... THE DUCKS AND GEESE HAVE COME! And now that they've jumped into the guiding business, the hunters should come, too. This hunting ground ranks with the most prestigious, well-managed duck clubs in California that the average guy can't even get into…
