Traditional Upland Hunts · Est. 2007

Hunt the Gentleman’s Way.

Personally guided upland hunts for those who come for the dogs, the country and the company — and who know the day is measured in more than birds.

More Than a Day Afield

It’s a way of life.

At FieldHound Outfitters, a bird hunt is not measured simply by the number of birds in the bag. It is measured in moments—the anticipation as the dogs work the cover, the beauty of the flush, the laughter between shots, and the stories that grow better as the day unfolds.

Our hunts are intentionally small, with two to four guns, so every detail can be thoughtfully considered and nothing feels hurried. From the hospitality tent and thoughtfully prepared food to a well-earned cocktail enjoyed in the field, each element is designed to make the day as memorable as the hunt itself.

This is sporting tradition with a sense of occasion—a day meant to engage every sense and be savored from beginning to end.

Good dogs. Beautiful country. Fine food and drink. Unforgettable company.

For those who understand that the finest experiences in life are not rushed—they are savored.

Welcome to FieldHound Outfitters.

The FieldHound Experience

From the lodge to the final pour.

01 Arrive at the Lodge
Your day begins with a personal welcome.

After check-in, paperwork, and a brief safety conversation, we will take you to the private field reserved for your party.

02 Settle Into the Field
Your tent will be waiting.

Take a moment to settle in, meet the dogs, and get acquainted with the cover. Nothing begins until your party is comfortable and ready.

03 Hunt Behind the Dogs
Walk-up hunting, kept as it should be.

Small parties, unhurried ground, good cover, and birds taken over honest dog work. The dogs set the rhythm—you simply follow, watch, and enjoy the moment when the field comes alive.

04 Return to the Tent
The hunt ends. The experience does not.

Settle in with a curated appetizer board, a pour of 15-year-old rum, and a fine cigar while the stories begin. As you relax, your birds will be cleaned, bagged, and prepared for the journey home.

The Dogs

You’ll remember the dogs first.

Pointers that hold, Labs that bring the bird back to hand, and handling quiet enough that you can hear the covey get up. Walk with the handler, watch the point develop, and take your time.

Every hunt, personally hosted.

FieldHound Outfitters grew from Charles Watson’s lifelong appreciation for bird dogs, sporting tradition, and the kind of company that makes a day afield worth remembering.

Charles personally hosts every hunt. He works the dogs, sets the pace for your party, and sees to every detail—from the opening safety briefing to the final pour beneath the tent.

There are no handoffs and no hurried departures. From your first walk through the cover to the stories shared afterward, your day is guided by the person who created the FieldHound experience.

“A good bird hunt begins with honest dogs and ends with a fine cigar and tall tales that grow a little taller with every pour.”
