Three legs and all gas. The drive on these GSP’s are the best.

Let’s go!

It’s official. High Roost Season III Full Season Passes are now on sale.

If Season II was any indication, don’t wait. Since the close of last season, our phone has been off the hook with hunters asking about Season III and we’re carrying a waitlist of nearly 40 people.

Returning members from Seasons I or II, please reach out to us directly for a special returning member discount and renewal opportunity before remaining spots are released.

As always, we’ll offer differentiated package options to fit different hunters and styles. Season III also brings continued investment into the preserve, including two new trails to expand access, new zoning, fresh cover, and ongoing improvements to parking and hunter access.

We’re building something special out here. Existing members get first crack at their spot. After that, it’s first come, first served.

Hanna from River X Archer is killing it! 14 weeks and searching, retrieving antlers and was introduced to her first fresh moose antler! Look at the focus even when the cat runs by her. 🤣 She’s going to be hooked.

This is what training should look like everyday for a GSP pup if you are trying to make a shed dog. High praise. Positive. Have fun with it. Retrieve is super important for the transition to the woods. Having them use their nose to find them is key. Ridge on the left and Hanna on the right from the River X Archer litter.

Okay, Here she is…Neely is 13 weeks old.

My wife won’t let me keep her. 😭 I wanted to add her to our pack because of her tenacity. She loves antlers and not scared of anything. I know she’s going to make an amazing bird dog as well.

She’s our last female left from River X Archer litter.

Please share or PM with any questions!

Girls don’t miss a thing in the woods. Stacking up the bones and loving every minute of it. Also found a Pine Martin for the first time, dogs chased him right up the tree. Pretty sure he never saw a person before.
