WHAT HUNTERS SAY
“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..”
Bill Miller
Waterfowl hunting all over North America for 44 years and counting!I hunted with Darren in Minnesota for Goldeneyes, Mergansers, Buffleheads, Redheads and Spoonbills.
We had a blast with plenty of action. His place in Minnesota is first class, from the lodge to the shooting!!
Darren makes it real easy on his customers, you are treated like royalty.
If lots of shooting is what you are after, DNA is guide service for you!

I also went with DNA Guide Service to Washington State. We shot Harlequins, Goldeneyes, Barrows Goldeneyes,
Red breasted and Common Mergansers, Surf Scoters, White Wing Scoters, Greater Scaup, and Buffleheads!
It was an awesome trip!! I went to single out a few target birds and Darren was able to put me on all of them!
Darren is a great guide and will do everything in his power to put you on the birds you need or want!
I am a repeat customer for sure!!

``I just wanted to take a minute and thank DNA guide service for the great duck hunt on October 1st, 2016. The attention to detail, love of waterfowl hunting and overall setup of the hunting location was phenomenal. As soon as light was visible in the sky, the marsh was teeming with life and ducks were coming and going from all different directions. DNA worked extremely hard to make sure we were comfortable and setup exactly where the birds wanted to be. I literally felt like the red carpet was laid out for me and all I had to do was be ready for shooting time! If you are looking for an extraordinary waterfowl hunting experience with a guide who lives and breathes waterfowl, DNA can’t be beat!``

Ortonville, MN``What an incredible experience! My son and I were provided the opportunity to venture into an Eden amidst a world impaired by societal footprint one October weekend this year. DNA guide service offered an invaluable occasion to share my life's passions with my son all while exposing him to the very resources that have shaped much of my life. With my son only being four years old, I had concerns about his ability to go on the hunt and if the accommodations would work for such a young person. From the moment we arrived, both he and I received the most pleasant greetings. In that instance, many of my hesitations of taking him were relieved. He was very interested in the accommodations and decorations of the lodge, as well as the kindness of the DNA guide. Once we arrived at the hunting site, I was even more relieved at how easy and well planned the experience was proving to be. All of my safety concerns were addressed and coupled with an incredibly smooth transition to the duck blind. If the incredible sunrise and scenery weren’t enough, once we were seeing numerous flocks of ducks working in and around the blind, my son's interest was piqued. While difficult to summarize the joy and excitement of the hunt, please know how grateful my son and I are to DNA guide service for the comradery, conversation, and the hard work you put in toward providing such a wonderful connection with nature. That being said, thank you! Thank you very much!``

Watkins, MNOut of Ortonville a great 15 mile drive along Lake Drive seeing Big Stone Lake to my destination Mallard Point Lodge. The Lodge is a nice pinewood exterior/interior setting by the lake. Housekeeping was available making for east work on meals, didn't get a chance to use the outside grill. Darren's wife Amy keeps the lodge immaculate.
DNA Outfitter Darren's duck/goose blinds are comfortable holding four hunters easily. Got a chance to use a few of the blinds on the sloughs which had easy boat access guided in by
Darren. The decoys were very realistic. Some battery powered winged ducks and geese too, didn't even use a call for the ducks I hunted.
I have been here a number of times, the family makes you feel right at home, always a pleasant stay.
Blessings to the Lang Family for the fun and safe time.

Eden Prairie, MNSuch lovely people with some cool areas to hunt along with a lot of birds!

MidWest FlyWays, MN``Utopia``. That's the word that I actually say every time I visit the Langs and their properties. I just can't say it another way. Aside from being able to enjoy their companionship, the access to the best hunting and fishing that western Minnesota has to offer is a memory maker every time. Mallard Point Lodge is the definition of luxury sporting lodging and the attention to detail you witness there is carried through the entire operation. DNA does nothing halfway. Darren has invested massive amounts of time, effort and capital to create habitat that is second to none for waterfowl and coincidentally deer and turkey. When you grow great habitat, great sporting opportunities happen; because the game WANTS to be there. It's just that simple. And having absolute control over managing the habitat and use of that habit ensures it to be a lasting resource all season long, year after year. I've spent nearly a half century chasing fish and game all over MN, the Dakota's, and Alaska, both with and without guides. I can honestly say DNA would be the only place I'd call a sure thing. Picture yourself shooting limits of ducks in the morning and catching limits of walleyes in the evening. I can because I have them! Thank you Darren and Amy!

Little Falls, MNDarren 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.
Conor Olstad
MidWest Flyways, MNTop 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 I've visited this paradise, and it certainly won't be the last. My wife and I thank you again for the great memories!

St. Paul, MNI 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.
Kevin Knudsen
St. Paul, MNBeen 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+++++
Daniel Mirelman
Birmingham, AlabamaKudos 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!
Roger Dagen
Bellefonte, PennsylvaniaI 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.

Edina, MNI 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.
Dan Hollerman
Minnetonka, MNWhat 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.

Port Matilda, PAGreat hunt! Lots of birds, of course. Tailoring the hunt around the tides and setting up on ocean rocks as they appear was a very unique experience for this Midwestern duck hunter. Cap it off with the beautiful scenery of the Maine coastline, and you have a prime duck hunting experience! Darren was a great guide, and certainly knows where the ducks are!
Stuart J. Olstad
Plymouth, MNDarren provided a topnotch experience that my father and I will remember for a lifetime. My week hunting sea ducks in Maine started with a handshake and ended with a hug because Darren made us feel as if we were a part of his family. I was amazed at the flocks of Eiders that came wave after wave. It is an adventure you just can’t pass up.
Conor Olstad
Crystal, MNMemorable trip (to Washington Sea Duck hunting) and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to partner with! Darren’s experience and awareness of ducks and navigating a new and sometimes rough environment reached unexpected levels. For a first trip to a new area, you’d think he’d already been there for years. His ability to accurately predict what was going to happen 1-2 hours ahead of time kept us on numbers of birds and most importantly safe during the chase.
Good times, and great conversations! Time well spent!
Love you Darren!
