– No ground swatting or shooting birds on the ground.
– All shots must be taken above shoulder height to ensure the safety of the dogs.


Alcohol Policy

Firearms Recommendation

For safety, we strongly prefer side-by-side or over-and-under shotguns.

Hunters bringing semi-automatic guns will be strongly encouraged to use a double gun instead.


Guide Dogs

Our guide dogs are highly valued and essential to the Pineridge experience.
In case of accidental injury or death to a dog: You will be responsible for all veterinary expenses. In the event of a dog’s death, a fee of $25,000 will be charged to your credit card. Always aim above shoulder height to protect the dogs.
