Such a wonderful time. Dave and Mike are fabulous guides and tremendous hosts. I learned a lot from them about grouse habitat and behavior. We flushed lots of birds. I'm not the best shot, but I certainly enjoyed the excitement and I took two. The lodge couldn't be nicer. Coffee and breakfast, out for hunt, back to the lodge for lunch, back out, then a great dinner and evening chats. This part of Maine is stunningly beautiful, and I enjoyed the walking very much. This was a truly memorable experience. I'm so glad I did this, and truly appreciate Dave and Mike making it a wonderful experience.

Had a great time fishing a couple of times with these guides. They are patient and full of great tips for beginners or experienced fishermen! Homemade shore lunch was awesome also! Can’t wait until the spring to fish with them again!

Maine Upland is great on many levels! The food and accommodations are second to none, Mike and Dave are great guides, and the hunting was awesome! The dogs found birds for us every day, and it was truly a great weekend. We'll be back for sure!

Had a great girls hunting weekend! Food was delicious and lodging exceeded my expectations of "hunting camp" (hot showers, comfortable beds, laundry). Most importantly, Mike and Dave put us on the birds! They'll have you laughing all day. Gorgeous location and area of Maine are the icing on the cake!

Dave and Mike run a top-flight (pun not intended, honestly) guide service for upland birds. I'm a relatively new hunter; before the two days I spent with Maine Upland Guide Service, my bird hunting experience was limited to game preserves in my home state. Shortly after I started hunting, I listened to the audiobook version of Burton Spiller's Grouse Feathers and knew that I wanted to experience a New England upland bird hunt, and I was fortunate enough to discover Maine Upland Guide Service. Dave and Mike made this novice hunter feel at home immediately upon my arrival and worked hard to make my two days with them a success, notwithstanding my lack of experience. I look forward to walking the roads and covers of northern Maine with them again, hopefully soon.

What a wonderful time my son and I had at Maine Upland Guide Service with Mike. The hospitality, facility, and food was above and beyond any expectations. Simply enjoyable and relaxing. My son, Jacob, took his first grouse. What a great experience. This is a place where memories are made and new friendships forged. Thanks Mike and Maine Upland Guide Service.

Mike and Dave are a great team. You will feel right at home. The conversation, the scenery, and the joy that you feel watching your dog and their dogs work in bird cover is breathtaking. If you want home cooked meals, escape from civilization, with guides showing you the beauty of Maine, book with Maine Upland Guide Service. Willow and I had a blast.

All too often there are individuals who take a guide course, pass the state required test and think they are guides.
Well, with Maine Upland Guided Service they KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING! The two guides Mike and Dave are also the Co-Owners who truly love what they do. They believe in preserving the hunting and fishing experience that we all love. Their smiles are just as big as their guest after a successful hunting or fishing experience. Their knowledge of the area is just amazing, that having a successful guide is almost guaranteed.
When you arrive, you are not treated JUST as a client, you are treated more like a friend visiting from away to relax and enjoy the Maine outdoors. The completely renovated camp is welcoming and comfortable, it is home away from home for not only them, but their visitors.
Next year I plan on taking my son as he is new to bird hunting, and I would not trust anyone else with this important experience.
Would highly recommend them!"

I had a great grouse hunt with Maine Upland Guide Service in October! The birds were plentiful and the hospitality was great! The camp is located in a beautiful location and you can be hunting as soon as you walk out the front door. Also, not far from some of the best salmon and brook trout fishing around! I can’t wait to go back!

A super experience! If you want the best upland bird hunting over the best dogs with incredible grouse look no further. Mike and Dave are true professionals, great guides, and outstanding outdoors men. Real honest grouse hunting like it used to be!

I have used guide services in the past, all have been good at what they do, yet Maine Upland Guide Service is an entirely new experience. They have what it takes to make the trip successful, and you feel like you're on a trip with family. I already have plans for next year with family and friends to show them what a true Maine woods adventure should be!
