Orvis-Endorsed Wingshooting Guide Service in Jay, Maine
100% customer satisfaction has been our commitment since 1856. It's who we are. If you aren't happy with a product or service, we want to know about it. And we'll make it right.
THAT'S THE ORVIS WAY.
Orvis-Endorsed Wingshooting Guide Service
We offer some of the fastest wingshooting the Northeast has to offer. Our well-behaved pointing dogs, who have undergone extensive field training, are always eager to enter a cover. Nothing produces an adrenaline rush more than a rock steady point combined with the sound of the thundering wings of a Ruffed Grouse, or the whistling wings of a woodcock. Here at Grouse Haven we have access to 3,500 acres of excellent Grouse & Woodcock covers. All meals are privately catered in our traditional New England sap house. We hope you can come and experience a classic Grouse & Woodcock hunt with us!
Orvis is pleased to offer our travel customers access to two valuable services: Global Rescue travel membership and IMG Signature Travel Insurance℠.

We'll start hunting at around 8 AM. 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. After lunch we can hunt several different covers at the clients leisure.
