Grouse / Turkey Hunting
October and November are our
grouse hunting and woodcock
hunting months and East Branch lodge is very
fortunate to be centered in
excellent habitat
for both species
The area offers some of the best grouse hunting and woodcock hunting available.
There is an abundance of second growth habitat and the flat
terrain is hunter and hunting dog friendly. Numerous logging
roads, snowmobile trails and classic abandoned farmlands
with old apple trees scattered through out offer easy
walking if
wanted and the needed terrain and edges to sustain the good
population of woodcock & grouse.
In forest area tree growth varies from
dense softwood thickets to hardwood ridges to young birch,
beech, and maple, all excellent habitat for grouse. And
being located along a small river system there are also
lower wetlands of alder and birch that the woodcock use on
their migrations.
Like the woodcock our grouse population
is good and these birds are also known for how long they
hold out before flushing. Limits on grouse are 4/day/hunter
with 8 allowed in possession. East Branch Lodge is located
in prime grouse and woodcock habitat. The type of hunter who
comes to this area is here for its remoteness, cover, and
lack of other hunters. Either way, your hunting vacation in
the Maine woods during the
spectacular fall foliage will be one to remember. Bring your
dog or 4 wheeler with you and go woodcock or grouse hunting
on your own, or hire a guide to show you the best covers.
