Welcome To Maine Upland
Wild birds. Great dogs. Good food. Big country.
Come experience Maine ruffed grouse and woodcock hunting the way we think it should be — personal, relaxed, and centered around great days in the woods.
Our guided packages bring it all together: remote camp lodging, exceptional meals, experienced guides, hard-working bird dogs, and thousands of miles of Maine's legendary North Woods to explore.
You get here. We'll handle the rest.
Welcome to Grouse Camp
Our camp sits deep in Maine's Upper Enchanted Wilderness, surrounded by vast forests, cold mountain waters, and classic grouse and woodcock country.
Moose wander through. Woodcock whistle at dusk. And every now and then, you'll look out the window and spot a grouse sitting in a tree.
It's remote.
It's comfortable.
And during October, it's exactly where we want to be.
Hunt Hard. Eat Well. Tell Stories.
Mornings start with a hearty breakfast and a plan for the day. Then it's into the coverts behind experienced guides and well-trained pointing dogs.
After the hunt, we head back to camp for a great meal, a warm fire, and the inevitable discussion about how that grouse possibly escaped.
Tomorrow, we get another chance.
We've Done Our Homework.
Maine remains home to some of the finest ruffed grouse and woodcock habitat in the country, and our hunting territory covers more than 10,000 square miles of it.
But having lots of country isn't enough.
Throughout the year, we're scouting new coverts, conducting drumming surveys, tracking bird contacts, and watching how habitat changes from season to season.
When October arrives, we have a pretty good idea where we want to start.
And Then There Are the Dogs.
For us, bird dogs are a huge part of the experience.
Our guides hunt behind accomplished American Brittanys and German Shorthaired Pointers, and watching a good dog work a Maine grouse covert is worth the trip all by itself.
Have your own dog?
Bring them.
We love hunting with guests' dogs and are always happy to help young dogs gain experience on wild Maine birds.
Small Groups. Better Hunts.
We intentionally keep things small, with groups of four hunters or fewer.
That means more personal attention, more flexibility, and a hunt built around you rather than a schedule.
First grouse hunt? We'll help you learn the game.
Seasoned upland hunter? Let's go find some birds.
Bringing a young dog? We'll give them opportunities.
That's the advantage of keeping things personal.
Come Hunt Maine.
There's a reason the ruffed grouse is called the King of Game Birds.
They're wild. They're unpredictable. They're incredibly challenging.
And chasing them through the Maine woods behind a good bird dog is something we never get tired of.
Whether you're coming for your first Maine grouse or returning to continue a lifelong tradition, we'd love to have you at camp.
Come hunt hard, eat well, laugh a lot, and make a few stories worth taking home.
We look forward to sharing our favorite season with you.
