Parker VH and Maine grouse/woodcock, a great combination!!

Spent a week hunting in Maine with 3 friends and 5 dogs!! 2 Setters, 2 Britts and a Draht. I hunted most of the week with a buddy from Poo-kip-see (:rotf:) and we put up 65 grouse and 7 mudbats. The Parker 16g VH scored on 11 of 18 grouse and 1 of 1 mudbat. Tom took 6 grouse and 1 mudbat. Good weather to run the dogs. First 5 days were great. Last day was Saturday, 10/20, and there were so many hunters out there in the middle of nowhere, it was unbelievable!! Looked like the opening day of PA deer rifle season. Here are some pics from the end of each day.

Great area! I've hunted and fished in the Eustis and Stratton area and down to Sugarloaf, where I have skied a few times, and was very successful there.

Those old grown up logged-off areas are the best!

Sounds like a great trip except when you were overrun with other hunters. But the weather Saturday was fantastic!

Nothing like hunting over your own dogs a great trip really sweet. On another note I didn't think you ever missed.

I really enjoyed these photos, as I do always when members post accounts of their hunts. Thanks for posting.

I can tell you like that hat! I have one very much like it, and it tells many stories in each loose thread.

Where are the pics of you and your smallbore Fox chasing birds?:whistle:
Oops! Wrong site.:eek:
Nice pics and story. I felt like I was there although I'm sitting in the middle of the prairie.
