Western Maine
Made it up to Maine for a quick trip. The weather had been lousy with three days of rain but today it broke. I got out around 8am and the fog was just starting to lift, temp was about 40 when I got there and climbed through the morning. Several spots already had trucks parked at them so it took a little bit to find one that wasn’t hunted already. I walked a couple miles of logging roads but no action. I figured the birds were still drying out. I went to another spot and walked the road edge for a few hundred yards then my dog got a little birdy so I followed her into some thin growth and after about 15 minutes one bird flushed but I couldn’t get a shot. We walked down another old logging trail into a gulley and boom, about 6 birds flushed from some spruce. I could only get a shot on one but I was happy. It was a nice day.
