Ruffed Grouse in Minnesota is the King of upland bird hunting with hunters harvesting more birds than any other state in the USA! Grouse hunting provides a challenge for many hunters, with the small windows of opportunity as a bird flushes through the thick cover of dense forests.
Guided hunts are 1x1 and we hunt behind Pointing dogs, this gives you a little more of a chance especially for those not used to a unpredictable flush from a wild bird! On the hunt you may encounter other upland birds so it is encouraged to get the appropriate Licenses, stamps, and Hip certification so you have more wing shooting opportunities!
Guided 2 Day hunts with pointing dog $600. 1x1 Camp Hunt
Guided 1x1 Dates 2day:
September 20/21 (with Woodcock opportunity)
September 27/28 (with Woodcock opportunity)

We also offer semi-guided grouse hunts. This is where we show you the North woods and where to find Grouse and a campsite for your future hunts with your best friend and hunting party. $500. fee for the week and we set up the camping area for you and your party. 2 Tents, firewood, and grill/stove for cooking.
