Fall in the Miramichi River Valley is a show like none other.

Cool, crisp mornings and purple sunrises over the misty Miramichi River, and the bright colors of fall maple, oak, and birch trees reflecting in the water. It’s a perfect combination, and your dog is on point. Join us at the Ledges for an invigorating, autumn, upland bird hunt!

Grouse and Woodcock

The meandering Miramichi River Valley, and its tributaries, provides an excellent variety of covert, creating the perfect habitat for upland birds such as Grouse and Woodcock. The Grouse spend most of its time on the ground where they forage for buds, berries, seeds, leaves, and insects. The Woodcock also spends the majority of its time on the ground, under cover, foraging.

As upland birds tend to be found on the ground, under heavy cover, hunters generally employ dogs to locate and retrieve. You are welcome to bring your own dogs, or you may work behind our slow, close working, Britney’s, English Pointers, or Irish Setters, at no extra cost. You can hunt back bogans and eddys, where Black ducks, Woody’s, Blue & Green Teal, Mallards and Mergansers feed. You might even find a Canada Goose on the fly-by.
