Hunting Lodge Award Season
We have the Oscars, Emmys, Tonys, Obies et al. Now Beretta is handing out tridents—no not three-point spears—but an award to hunting venues. The Beretta Trident Program is a quality rating-system for wingshooting and or shotgun sports. Beretta calls it unique but it is similar to Orvis’s endorsed outfitters and lodge program, where a venue goes under an objective but thorough evaluation. The Beretta Trident will signify excellence and quality. The first operation to receive the Trident is Cheyenne Ridge Signature Lodge in Pierre, SD. Deep in the heart of pheasant country, Cheyenne Ridge offers the type of wild upland bird hunting one would expect at a 5-star establishment. They say the food is good, too. I’d provide a link to Beretta’s website for more information, but the site is rather abysmal. It looks like it was designed by an information architect going through ecommerce site withdrawals. Go to the Orvis site if you are looking for lodges. Though I always have tail feathers on mund at this time of the year I'm thinking about some place warm. Bone fishing in the Bahamas anyone?
