Prairie Lakes HRC Prairie Lakes HRC, based in Elbow Lake, Minnesota, officially began in spring 2006. The club trained informally for about 1-1/2 years prior. The club generally meets for training sessions and meetings once weekly during the summer, either Tuesday evenings or an agreed upon time on weekends. Prairie Lakes HRC currently holds one officially hunt testing day annually, and two fun hunt tests. Hunt tests are held at the Elk Lake Heritage Preserve grounds, just north of Hoffman, Minnesota.
