We had lots of rain on Wednesday and Thursday morning and consequently the best woodcock covers were under several inches of water and the woodcock simply weren’t there. And grouse numbers were not at all what we had hoped for, probably also due to flooding conditions. We hunted a lot of cut-over country halfway between Houlton andPresque Isle.
But we had a great time with friends and guides the whole time we were there.
