We hunted a grants for 3 years and it was great but only because we hired guides that knew what they were doing.
That area attracts a lot of bird hunters so the birds get taken and pushed out quickly.
Also the area is vast.
In other areas like the coast, Brunswick and the Belfast area there is less hunting pressure but it does not have the amount of foresting like in Rangley but very productive.
Also tremendous amount of road hunters in the Rangeley area.
The opening the season earlier in Maine has not help either it just adds to the road hunters and bear hunters killing time.
We now hunt the same area but do not stay at grants, but we use the same guide. We now also avoid Saturday hunting as their are to many people in the woods.
