By God, Stephen, you sure don't want to be found. I just took a half hour out of my remaining days combing the Maine Gazetter, and still have no idea where you're going.

Edger, I do not like to be found Especially during hunting season Maybe this map will help

OK Steve, you neglected to mark your destination on that map. I'm fairly familiar with the Great North Woods but I'll need a waypoint.

Dean, it is in Deboullie Township. Directions are in the link of the web site I provided. But its in T15 R9. Enlarge the map until you can read it.

Good Grief Man !... there are plenty of grouse and woodcock in less remote sections of Maine! I mean, yeah their prices are very good but the airfare for the float plane is gonna be pretty steep.

I've always found loads of grouse out the Spencer Bay Road, North and West out of Kokadjo and up along the Golden Road out any of the timber roads. Lots of old cut-overs there.

Dean, I will not be using a float plane to hunt, just driving the logging roads to cuts and such.

I din't think you'd be using a float plane to hunt, but just to save yourself the drive back in there to the pond.

Good Luck! We want to hear all about it when you return to civilization.

I was out at the cabin from Thursday to Saturday (mountains of northeastern PA). It was our annual blast from the past weekend and some friends and I had a good time, kind of a tribute to those years.

Also did some scouting for grouse before the guys showed up. Plenty of summer food like huckleberries, chokecherries and wintergreen. No wild grapes at least where I checked. Elderberries coming on strong, also a heavy crop of crabs and regular apples around the old foundations. But this June was the wettest on record hereabouts and I wonder about the poults, not only grouse but also turkeys. Plus, the spring weather wasn’t all that great in 2014 and most of the grouse taken last fall were adults. I mainly stayed on wide cleared trails and old RR beds - timber rattlers - but didn't see anything but deer and a small bear. Time will tell this fall .....
