“What a camp! This is where God hunts. Earl, Kevin, Felicia and the whole staff… phenomenal. A slice of heaven!”
Where every fall tells
a story
Pineridge Grouse Camp sits amid vast stretches of unspoiled public hunting land in northern Minnesota, delivering a premier wing-shooting experience for serious upland hunters. Our seasoned guides—experts in wildlife biology, forestry, and dog development—bring deep field knowledge that elevates every outing. At the heart of the experience is our renowned string of Pineridge Elhew Pointers, conditioned and trained year-round to perform with precision, drive, and style in the grouse woods. Following these exceptional dogs through wild bird cover is unforgettable.
As owner Jerry Havel puts it, “Northern Minnesota is the ultimate proving ground for great grouse dogs, with wild grouse and woodcock that demand their best.” For devoted upland enthusiasts, Pineridge is more than a destination—it’s a return to tradition: wild birds, fine side-by-sides, brilliant bird dogs, and quiet evenings by the fire with a bourbon in hand.
