Complete Upland Hunting School At Orvis Sandanona, NY

The instructors broke everything down step-by-step, from dog handling to flushing patterns, and by day two I was reading cover like I’d been doing it for a decade. The mix of field work and classroom time at the Millbrook grounds kept it practical without ever feeling rushed.

I've hunted for years but never felt this prepared—the immersive days at Sandanona fixed bad habits I didn't know I had. Left as a more productive upland hunter.

The instructors broke everything down so clearly that even my first pointing dog handled the cover like a pro by day two. The grounds at Millbrook are gorgeous, and the hands-on fieldwork made the whole experience worth every penny.
