The
Central part of the United States makes up the Central region of NAHRA.
This Upper Midwest area of the country has the best waterfowl hunting
the U.S. The Central Flyway and the Mississippi Flyway abundantly
attract many ducks and geese during the Fall and Spring of the year.
We
also have some of the best upland hunting in the country, with North
and South Dakota leading the way. Both of these states attract hunters
all over the country for Pheasants, Grouse, Partridge, and Waterfowl.
All the more reason to use a trained retriever for hunting!
In
the Central Region we have 5 NAHRA clubs located in Minnesota, Iowa,
Illinois, and Wisconsin. We usually hold anywhere from 12-20 tests per
year. The regular testing season starts in April and ends in August or
early September, just in time to begin the hunting season. After this
we regularly host NAHRA’s new pilot Upland Retriever Program tests.
You can connect to the NAHRA Central Region website Here.
Please take a look at the list of clubs and events in the Central Region. We look forward to seeing you at one of our events soon!
