Minnesota

Young aspen stands, hardwoods, and tamarack swamps create a perfect patchwork of habitat to foster a booming population of birds in the Minnesota Northwoods. The landscape here is not like the blocks of cuts in other places. In this stretch of forest, the land dictates cut sizes and shape, but continued logging efforts ensure bountiful covers for years to come. See what our dogs are made of as they dig deep to pin down these birds in some of the densest woodlands the country has to offer.
