I am just back from spending most of October at Libby Camps in the North Maine Woods always a great time of year where I enjoy great food and time in remote country. The grouse hunting is great fun but there is lots of other wildlife to see. Pictures here of a cow and calf moose and a very cooperative red fox.

Last week I posted a photo of Blue pointing a woodcock and felt a little bad that Rocky my other English Pointer did not have a similar photo opp. Well only a few days went by and this one presented itself. Rocky in an intense point and if you look carefully you can see the grouse under the little fir tree on the other side of the road. Hard to imagine that I got both photos in less than a week.

One aspect of October at Maine Outdoors is guiding grouse and woodcock hunters at Libby Camps in the North Maine Woods. It is great fun to work with the dogs, see the leaves change and spend time in the remote woods. Finding the birds is the dogs job and I keep the hunters in position and safe.
