Brian has spent over a decade crafting unforgettable outdoor adventures for clients. From the early days of guiding turkey hunters to later immersing himself in the world of fly fishing, his passion as a guide and outfitter was ignited at a young age. "It wasn’t until the remarkable Miss Rebel, a German short-haired pointer, graced my life that my heart fell in love with bird dogs! The pivotal moment of witnessing a dog gracefully point a bird marked the beginning of my unwavering devotion to this captivating pursuit." With the arrival of his second bird dog, Miss Luna, his passion for Ruffed Grouse hunting blossomed into an addiction that continues to fuel his spirit.

Brian, is a fine gentleman who knows grouse and bird dogs

Brian, is a fine gentleman who knows grouse and bird dogs. It was a pleasure hunting with Brian and his dogs in 2022. One of his shorthairs was the finest grouse dog I have ever seen. Brian does thorough scouting before the hunt to put the hunters on good numbers of grouse. He was an excellent companion in the woods and has a great combination and experience.
