Covert Creek Outfitting is now offering guided upland hunting for ruffed grouse and migratory woodcock! We hunt all wild birds on public land throughout the Catskills, Mohawk Valley, and Central New York. Our coverts [pronounced ‘cuh-verts’] are full of prime aged grouse and woodcock habitat; from overgrown apple trees to aspen stands, rock walls and alder bottoms – we hunt thick cover to find and flush the king of the upland gamebirds! We hunt over pointing dogs and welcome guests to bring their own pointing or flushing dog! Our typical flush rates exceed the state average, but we encourage guests to hunt at least two half days to experience what our coverts have to offer. We may hike multiple miles of terrain in a day, and we hunt hard to produce the best that our region has to offer! Our hunts are based out of the upper Delaware County and Schoharie County areas. Our guides have a broad range of coverts to accommodate weather, dog hunting style, your preferences, and physical ability. Be sure to let us know what you are looking for and let us plan your trip of a lifetime!
