| About Us |
|
We're about tradition. We're about heritage and conservation. We're about well trained dogs and exceptional reliability. We're about good manners and incredible food. We're about making your time afield worth the travel, the expense, and worth the planning. And summing it up, we're about educating newer people to the sport and art of running pointers or flushers on wild birds, fly fishing moving or still water, and knowing about the wildlife that surrounds us while we do just that.

| Garret Booth |
Garret
is a
Registered Hunting, Fishing and Recreation Guide in both Maine and New
Hampshire. Having previously guided for several very busy game bird
preserves, Garret wanted to refine his approach to both hunting and
guiding, and he's never looked back. In doing so, he has been able to
assess the needs of clients and combine them with an idealistic approach
to personally guided hunts for upland birds, waterfowl, fly fishing and
any other outdoor adventure he finds himself on with clients. On average
Garret is afield every day, all year pursuing waterfowl, upland species,
fish, or mountains as a whole - as a guide or simply afield for his own
satisfaction. In doing so he is in tune with current conditions,
migration status, and the availability of food sources. This enables him
to offer you the most productive enjoyable day afield to maximize your
exposure to what we offer. He has advanced training in CPR and First Aid
methods, a very thorough knowledge of wilderness survival and
orienteering methods, as well as first hand knowledge of nautical
conditions and methods to keep you safe - wherever you go with him. |
| Nellie Booth |
Nellie
was born and grew up in Peterborough New Hampshire with Golden
Retrievers her entire life, and is an accomplished trainer of both
pointing dogs and flushers alike. She plays a very active role in our
boarding program with incoming dogs, enabling them to deal with their
life better as a result of progressive training. Nellie handles a great
deal of our sessions that focus on helping an overly-focused dog deal
better with life by teaching the handler/owner the necessary skill set
to counter balance some of the neurosis experienced by some - if not all
- hunting dogs. Not only is she a skilled trainer, but Nellie is also
responsible for all meals provided on our outings and clinics. She's a
phenomenally experienced Chef with twenty years of experience in the
restaurant industry specializing in gourmet preparations, quality slow
cooking, and a new spin on Traditional American - and let's not forget
an incredible pastry chef as well! Regardless of what it is that Nellie
does, you can rest assured that either as a trainer or chef, you won't
be disappointed. |
| Bob Poulin |
Because
this is a training facility, we provide a professional shooter for our
training appointments so that we can both (trainer and handler) give our
undivided attention to the dog while on point or flushing birds. Enter
Bob Poulin - hired gun. Bob has an incredible amount of experience
shooting, and is an asset to our clients for both his reliability behind
the gun, and his thorough knowledge of body mechanics and shooting
fundamentals that will better enable you to put birds in the bag during
your hunting season. No pressure Bob, but he only missed two shots out
of several hundred last year on released birds over dogs during training
appointments. |

| Suzie |
![]() This is Suzie, Herbie's littermate. "Suze" as we call her, has really blossomed in her later years. She's a wonderful dog that blesses our hearts, and the hearts of everyone she meets. She's a non-hunting pointer that we rescued - well... She hunts - in her own special way, and we accept The Suze for who she is. Suzie has covered a great deal of ground since she began owning us in 2006. She came in gun shy and was blinking birds to the point where a bird would send her to the truck. We now have Suzie pointing solidly and holding points for up to five minutes. Her shot conditioning is coming along very slowly, but she is making great strides with every month. She has proven herself as a reliable and important part of our home, and starting puppies for Mel Pfeifle from Hampshire Kennels. She's a great worker, solid in the woods, strong, and fast. She loves to run and we often equate her to the female version of Forest Gump "And I was running". |
| Emiliah |
Emiliah
is out of Hampshire's Mr. Buck and Elhew Mother Goose. She comes from
Hampshire Kennels,
located in Bradford New Hampshire. The Pfeifles, owners of Hampshire
Kennels, are incredible people to work with. She's now a tenured member
of the Grey's Outfitting crew and fills her position with a great work
ethic and a phenomenal sense of humor. Emiliah is a finished gun dog at
2.5 years old, and was recently bred with Hampshire's Lee (who is out of
Champion Elhew Explorer & Champion Elhew Goldielock). She's an old soul
with a great deal of passion and respect for wild birds - and really
sticks it to them Old School Style!

| Ghillie & Charlie |
What else can we say? Look at these
puppies!!These two little Field Bred English Cocker Spaniel puppies are little dynamos! Charlie and Ghillie are now two years old and have many a guided hunt under their belt/s. Ghillie Llama (as we call him) is an experienced flusher, retriever, and yes, the rumors are true: Ghillie can bring snowshoe hare full circle and into shotgun range! Charlie is reserved for upland hunting only, and does a great job of finding, flushing, and honoring the pointing dogs while holding birds. |
