The Cover
Folded ground, changing cover, and a steep rise.
Instead of flat pine plantation, you get folded ridges, hardwood draws, pine edges and open broomsedge fields. The cover changes every few hundred yards, which keeps the dogs honest and keeps you paying attention.
Birds come off the ground steep and fast with a ridge behind them. It is a genuinely challenging rise — and it is the reason people who have hunted South Georgia their whole lives still find something new up here.
Your guide runs the dogs out front and calls point. You walk in, take the flush, and let them do the finding and the fetching. Between courses you ride; nobody hikes back to the truck.
The Dogs
One dog finds them. The other honors the point.
That second dog freezing behind the first is called backing, and it is the part experienced hunters stop to watch. It means the brace is working as a pair rather than competing — and it means nobody bumps the covey before you're in position.
Your guide reads the dogs and puts the guns where they need to be. If you've never walked in on point before, say so when you book; we'll talk it through in the field before it matters.
A Full Day, Start to Finish
How the day runs.
A representative full day. Half days run the same way, minus the second course. Tell us the pace you want and we'll set it.
Arrive & get squared away
Coffee, paperwork, and a look at the day. Tell us what your party wants — a hard-charging day, or a slow one with a lot of stops and stories.
Safety talk & dog talk
Muzzle discipline, safe zones of fire, and how to walk in on point without crowding the dog. Short, plain, and required — first-timers and forty-year veterans both get it.
The first course
Dogs on the ground and a course to yourselves. Pointers work the edges; you rotate through the gun positions so everybody gets their share of the rise.
Break in the middle
Water, shade, and a catered lunch if you added one. Non-shooting guests are welcome to ride along all day and eat with the party.
Fresh dogs, second course
Full-day parties go back out on new ground behind a fresh brace. This is usually when the shooting gets good — everybody has their timing by the afternoon.
Clays, then birds in the cooler
Finish on the 5-stand if you want to keep shooting. Your birds are cleaned, packed and iced while you settle up.
What's Included
Everything in the field comes with the hunt.
Guide & Pointing Dogs
Your guide handles the dogs and rotates them through the day, so the brace stays sharp and so do the birds.
Field Transportation
You ride between courses. No long walks back and no hunting against a clock you can't keep.
Your Birds, Cleaned
Bird processing is included, and your birds leave in a DanMar cooler — cleaned, bagged and on ice. Nothing to bring, nothing to sort out.
One Party at a Time
Two hunter minimum, four maximum. You are not sharing a field with strangers.
Guests Welcome
Non-shooters can ride along the whole day. Add a catered lunch and they're set.
