We'll start hunting at around 8:00. First client(s) will meet guide(s) and review the day(s) itinerary. We'll also review topo maps of the areas we would encounter, and give them options on what terrain they'd want to pursue. Gun safety and review is a must! We can hunt two dogs at a time, or one. After we have hunted 2 or 3 covers in the morning, we'll break for lunch, and sit outside by the fire and have a hearty lunch served in our traditional New England sap house.
