Just wanted to let you and Dave know how much the three of us appreciated all that you did for us earlier this week. We felt like one of the family!

Reese makes the retrieve, and Roger takes delivery. Great times with our pointers in the Maine woods. 🐾🍂

Kevin dreamed of coming to Maine to hunt ruffed grouse. Until this trip, he’d only ever seen one on YouTube. Well, here’s how his opening morning is going so far! Nothing like watching a dream become a memory in the Maine woods. 🍂🐾

Fine bourbon in a pointer glass, a crackling fire, and a tired hunter resting after miles in the Maine woods. A good day. 🥃🔥

"Five years hunting with these guys, and I can't say enough good things about this crew. Dave, and Mike are exceptional hosts who have created something truly special. Great dogs, incredible covers, outstanding food, and hospitality that makes you feel like family. Their knowledge of the North Maine Woods is second to none, but what really sets them apart is their genuine appreciation for the land, the birds, and the importance of conservation. Don't mistake this for your typical guys-only bird camp. Bring your wives, girlfriends, or anyone who appreciates good company and the outdoors. Everyone is welcome, and everyone feels at home. These guys along with fellow guides Rob, Scott and Clayton understand that a great hunting experience is aboutt more than the number of birds in the bag...although we got plenty of those also. Already looking forward to year six!"

The woodcock’s beauty is in the details—soft russet, warm browns, and delicate patterns that blend perfectly with the autumn forest floor. Some things deserve a closer look. 🍂

There’s something about Maine in the fall that makes you stop and take it all in. Hillsides painted in red and gold, quiet lakes reflecting the color, and mountain views stretching for miles. Even on familiar roads, there’s always a reason to pull over and admire the view.
