In response to this thread and my potential trip to northern Maine (way the hell up there) in early November, I reached out to a friend that hunts up there regularly and has some local connections. He relayed that the locals confirmed that the early hatches were negatively impacted by the weather but the later hatches were good. They're expecting the road hunters to have some difficulty with grouse numbers but are expecting the guys with dogs hunting deeper in the cover to do well. That's why the call it hunting.
