The season is definitely winding down now. I guided a grouse hunter on Monday and fished on Tuesday. This morning’s snow really puts a cap on the season end (picture). I will continue to fish mostly for fun for the next few weeks and any warm afternoon is a good chance to work the dogs but pretty much it is over.

October is always a busy month and this year it has been no different. With snow in the forecast this weekend it must be coming to an end. I spent part of my time at Libby Camps in Northern Maine guiding grouse and woodcock hunters.

The leaves are turning and the days noticeably shorter. Here at Maine Outdoors that means switching gears a little. The Lund got a temporary cover this morning to keep the falling leaves out and the dog boxes got loaded into the Sequoia for the coming season. I’ve been working the dogs for about three weeks now when we all had a spare minute. On Wednesday the training is over and the grouse and woodcock season begin.
