The preserve is conveniently located near the historic towns of Oneonta, Cobleskill and Cooperstown and is next to Betty and Wilbur Davis State Park.

Here at Mountainview, we attend to details and can accommodate the entire spectrum of hunters from the novice to the very experienced - including those with disabilities. Book with the confidence that your hunt will be as challenging as you want and as memorable as you expect.
Our German Shorthair Pointers Sage and Rip are owned and trained by us. They are both very enjoyable and stylish to hunt over. They both love what they do and are very active in Field Trialing, Hunt Testing. Sage has a Senior Hunter Title!
So come hunt with us, with your dog(s) or feel free to hire one of our guide-and-dog teams. Check out our price list for fees to do either of two these options.

Welcome to the latest addition to our Mountainview dogs, Rip. He's from our last litter from Sage & Gunner, our Harry Potter and Mountainview's final breeding. "Mountainview's Rippin' It Up" is certainly living up to his name! Only a little over a year, he's already a Junior Hunter and has some points toward his Field Champion Title. We are thrilled with his performance so far and look forward to seeing him hunt out in the field on the preserve.

This website is humbly dedicated to our first German Shorthaired Pointer, the late Chase (3/6/2002-2/3/2014) "Crystals's Chase of the Island" who was a Master Hunter. Bred by Crystal Kennels in Montour Falls, NY, this wonderful hunter and companion crossed the Rainbow Bridge far too early. He brought much love to our home! Run in the endless fields of Heaven, Chasie, and point birds to your hearts delight!
