Welcome
Experience Maine's finest upland bird hunting with a guide service dedicated to ruffed grouse and woodcock. Nestled in the heart of Maine's legendary Upper Enchanted Wilderness, our camp sits amid vast forests, pristine waters, and some of the most productive grouse habitat in North America. It's a place where moose wander through camp, woodcock whistle at dusk, and grouse can often be seen perched in the trees just outside your window.
Your days begin with hearty meals and great company before heading into the coverts behind experienced guides and well-trained pointing dogs. Evenings are spent enjoying exceptional food, sharing stories around the fire, and reliving the day's memorable bird contacts. We believe autumn in the Maine woods is one of life's great experiences, and we look forward to sharing it with you.
Our hunting territory encompasses more than 10,000 square miles of prime grouse and woodcock habitat. While many regions struggle with declining grouse numbers, Maine's active forestry practices continue to create the young forests these birds depend upon. The result is abundant habitat and outstanding hunting opportunities throughout the season.
Success doesn't happen by chance. We spend the entire year studying grouse populations through drumming surveys, tracking bird contacts, scouting new coverts, and monitoring habitat conditions. This commitment to both conservation and hunting allows us to consistently locate productive covers and provide our guests with exceptional hunting experiences.
Most of our guided ruffed grouse and woodcock hunts include comfortable lodging and home-cooked meals at camp. Many of our best covers begin right outside the front door, allowing you to step directly into classic North Woods bird hunting country. There is a reason the ruffed grouse is often called the "King of Game Birds"—few pursuits offer a greater combination of challenge, excitement, and reward.
Our guides are passionate bird dog enthusiasts who hunt behind accomplished American Brittanys and German Shorthaired Pointers. Guests are encouraged to bring their own dogs, and we are always happy to help develop young dogs, introduce them to wild birds, and provide guidance on hunting and training in Maine's rugged grouse woods.
To ensure every guest receives the attention and personalized experience they deserve, we limit trips to groups of four hunters or fewer. This allows us to tailor each hunt to your goals, hunting style, and expectations while maintaining the highest level of service.
Whether you're seeking your first flush of a wild Maine grouse or continuing a lifelong upland tradition, we invite you to join us in the North Woods and experience some of the finest bird hunting Maine has to offer.
We look forward to sharing our favorite season with you!
