Early Season GROUSE Hunting in the North Maine Woods

  • We're back! I found some time to edit a video and will continue to do more as I have the time. Mainely Flies continues to be my main focus for now, but I’d love to reach the point where we can hire an editor. I really enjoy filming these videos but just struggle finding the time to edit them.
    Today, we're headed out for the opening day of grouse hunting here in the North Maine Woods. Early season is the most difficult time of year to hunt this species, especially without a dog. I’ll share some tips and tricks on how to narrow in on these birds when they have so much ground to cover and a variety of food sources to choose from.
    If you're interested in booking a grouse hunting trip this fall, I still have some dates available! Reach out to me at mainelyoutdoors18@gmail.com for more information, or visit my website for additional details: www.mainely-ou...

    Congratulations on the PhD (especially), the Guide license, and on the new Beretta gun! Beautiful model - I've shouldered that one a few times in the gun shop, and that 28" barrel model fits me like it was custom-made for me - even better fit than my 1985 Browning Citori Grade 1 Hunting. I remember my Master's thesis defense 24 years ago vividly, and I can only imagine the feeling of passing your dissertation and receiving your doctoral degree. Really appreciate your grouse videos, and I learn from them, which is not something I can legitimately say about many other UA-camrs' grouse hunting videos. Grouse season starts north of where I reside in Quebec in just over 5 weeks now, and I'm stoked! Please do keep the videos coming as you can find the time to edit! Beautiful scenery as well. Thank you!

    me and my dad hunt up there with some of our friends. it’s really fun cause one day we saw 48 birds in total and last year we hadn’t seen anything all day and then we take this road with 30 minutes of hunting time left and saw two so me and my friend that is 14 i shot one then we saw one behind and got 2 there then kept walking and saw 2 more and we perfectly shot at the same time and got 4 birds right there. love hunting that area.
