Looks like a nice relaxing way to spend a day hunting with your Dad. Cherish those times.
You guys are amazing.
What could be better than a grouse hunt with Dad!
I have so many memories doing that.
The hunts with family and friends are the best memories.
Childhood!! I use to hunt grouse with my Dad. Time well spent. The grouse would walk out onto the old loggin roads, we’d taken with a 410. 3”mag shells. Best memories of youth! Enjoy your time, those are special moments. Some nice vid shots!
Watching these vids bring me back to my childhood ... hunting grouse and snowshoes with my dad the same way as you guys
Definitely! brings be back to mine as well. My Dad was bringing me out grouse hunting when me and my brother where still in diapers 😂
Great hunting there. Beautiful country full of beautiful people. I'm from Newfoundland, and thirty years ago my dad spent two weeks in the ICU at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor after suffering a ruptured aortic aneurism. The staff were tremendous and so were the people we met there.
Jessie , it’s not that the 20 gauge is a problem it’s that you only have the one choke. That’s what is so great about a side x side. I have several in 20 gauge also a 16 gauge and an exact copy of your fathers 12 gauge. I always preferred the 16 for Grouse a 20 for rabbits and the 12 for ducks and turkeys. I prefer a 22 rimfire for squirrels. Just my experience from hunting for 60 years. By the way most of the s x s are of modified and full configuration. I do have, one for rabbits that is modified and improved cylinder. I have also found that #6 lead shot will usually get the job done. These are just my opinions. Everybody has their own and that is mostly based on their hunting environment.👍👍👍🙏🏽🇺🇸✌🏻😎
Great footage! Really makes me miss hunting in Maine when I was younger. Loved there for 12 years.
Love this video! Keep up the good work. Love the bond you share with your father. Film quality is great as well. All the best from up here in New Brunswick!
Thanks so much! I've got a few more with him filmed and maybe I'll have to make another trip out in the snow
Great video! the quality of your footage and editing just gets better with every video!
Thanks I alway try to improve something each edit and trip out! Glad it shows
We just came back from an amazing week of bird hunting for a week on map page 66 of the North Maine Woods. So Many birds! so much fun! My dad has since passed on but hunting with his old bird gun was fantastic. What flies do you make with the grouse feathers? Always up for more flies.
Great video, enjoyed watching it. My PAL application is in process, hopefully I shall be able to go grouse hunting this season in Southern Ontario. I haven't decided which shotgun shall I buy for grouse hunting, any advice will be much appreciated. Thank you.
god bless you guys, thanks for letting people see the way its done "up north" now please tell me you "thumb em" when your cleaning em
I'm not actually sure what to "thumb em" means. Cavity cleaning?
“ the film quality is only going to go up” lol that’s the Same with my dad he can’t hold a camera strait. 1 time I fought a big fish and he had the camera in photo mode not video lol love the videos
Haha! hey at least he tried. I cant blame him its hard to pick up a camera like I use and under stand it.
Always amazes me what you can see up north
LOOKS LIKE YOUR FATHER WAS USING A STEVENS MOD 311 12 GAGE DOUBLE! GREAT GUN!
I use a 12 gauge with a cut barrel and light dove loads. Most shots in the NW are short
Your Dad's doing a pretty good job filming you hunting.
Oh yeah he crushed it!
Hi Jesse. I just found your channel and I really appreciate it! I live in Virginia (Lynchburg) where we have an AirBnb that we use to host people traveling to drop off and visit their kids in college. We've gotten to know a family from Augusta and I've been invited to hunt grouse and woodcock this fall in the north woods of Maine. I just want to say that your channel and its content has been great for inspiring me for the coming hunt. It gives me a sense of the kind of terrain and conditions we're likely to have. So for all that, thank you. A hunting apparel question for you (and I realize that this particular video was shot in 2021) but at 1:24 you introduce your dad, who is wearing a green looking sip-up sweater. Any idea where he bought it from? Thanks and keep up the good work!
Its been a fantastic season for grouse in my neck of the woods as well. Love all the awesome footage in these videos! 👍
Love it. There aren't many grouse in my part of the country. So I grouse hunt vicariously through you.
Hope you get to make a trip up to experience it one day
Great video, I love hunting grouse with family. I did it for 20 years in upper NH. May still get back there again, I'm all pumped up after watching you guys. I don't understand your title though. I don't see anything your doing that's illegal or banned from my experience.
Pre bought three boxes of shells this year
Jesse, your Mainely Flies Website is on fire! I think you found a Nitch that people are looking for. Scouting moose this weekend and have 5 game cams going on the J&J Tree farm.
What kind of choke and ammo do you use?
What an amazing video! We are just so impressed with the shots you are getting they are top notch! Really adds to the video! You are killing it! Can’t wait for more 🔥!
Thanks guys! Hope your season went well maybe well have to meet up some time this ice fishing season
@@MainelyOutDoors Definitely we would love that! Can’t wait for the season!!!
Ahh quality time with Dad, that's awesome for sure. Wish we still had Grouse in my area. Such a beautiful bird. The resounding drum has gone quite, not a good sound.
Sorry to hear that.. seems like they have left a lot of there native range. Hopefully the never happens here
Been finding shells randomly. What I have found out is a lot of the local small shops are buying everything Walmart will sell them and reselling. I don't particularly like that since I have to pay more for shells but that might be worth checking some local pawn shops or smaller gun shops around your area if there are any left. Great video as always man!
Your right I actually picked up a box at a small store after this wouldn’t think they would have any but that must be why
That SxS has some serious left of center issues with that top lever!
He’s had it ever since I can remember. Might try to steal it to have it serviced his birthday. Needs some serious TLC
What shells do you use?
So in one of your partridge videos your dad talks about managing the land for birds, bear, deer etc.
I don't have a huge property to manage but I would love to hear him talk about best things to do to grow a healthy bird population. Any chance the old man can pass some knowledge down?
Wish i knew where this spot was i live in northern maine and havnt got any birds at all this year
whats the name of the double barrel that your dad shoots
I noticed you put in a couple different clips. Noticed 2 different trucks, congrats on another great day.
Good eye! I use some of broll from past videos that way i dont have to get everything thing in one day
@@MainelyOutDoors It's all good, cheers
How fast do you drive
Great hunt!!
Great video man keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Every so often you can find cases of the 7 1/2 low brass for 20ga at walmart real cheap. 8 for the 12ga. I have used both and they work very well for grouse out to 30 yards or so.
I'll keep an eye out im pretty partial to my 6 shot but ive used 7 1/2 works fine as long as theres not brush in the way
@@MainelyOutDoors I actually like the low brass with a full choke out both my 20 and my 12. I get a little extra distance with the full and a few more pellets out of the 7 1/2 and 8. Make the wing shots a little easier even through brush
awesome video!
Thanks!
Nice video, great hunt however there was nothing wrong with your ammo if it goes gang. You might want to go to 71/2 shirt size fir more pellet count instead of 6.
I shot a gallon milk jug filled with water at the same range after to test it out. Most of the bbs just bounced off. I would imagine the powder got wet on those at one point. Most of the shells still burned but at a much slower rate than it should. Those rounds were at least 30 years old since they were lead shot and still advertising use on ducks. Making them pre 1991. So I'm not too surprised
@@MainelyOutDoors ok , I have shotgun exactly like your fathers and yours . Simple utilitarian guns ,all that is needed¿ 👍
I agree! They are meant to be used. so I dont want one Im just going to baby and worry about damaging it
Love the vids. I’ve done some serious mileage in jackman and they’re slim. What zone or area is this?
This was up in t northern zones 1 and 2
Great content. Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Nice shooting
gotta come across the border we got all the 20, 12, and 22 u could ask for
really? send some our way were struggling down here!
Didn’t have a chance to go up north this season but from your vids seems like they did well this year up there nice hunt and vid as usual👍🏻 🍻
Thats too bad Hopefully we get plenty of snow this year the the population continues to hold up for next year
@@MainelyOutDoors lol keep the snow up there I don’t want to plow too much
This makes me wanna knock Maine off my state list
There were three birds at 6:05
Great day of hunting especially when you're out with your father!
Jesse is your father's shot gun a Savage model 311 ??
Enjoy your retirement Mainer!!
The Vermonter
Absolutely! hard to beat it! He'll be in at least a few more this year. I think so but id have to ask him again I cant recall the model but im pretty sure its a savage
Ha ha , Jesse that 12 ga don’t play ,,on the shells Jesse down here the big box stores still have nothing but the local sporting goods store have stock but it is higher than a Georgia pine.
Same here! found a box of Fiocchi in a local shop after this day and ended up costing 33$ pretty high but its better than shooting blanks the whole trip 😂
@@MainelyOutDoors the local gun shop here has Remington express for 18 and the medium power Remington for 15 bucks also has rio and Nobel sport and some Winchester
What kind of double barrel is that? Keep up the grouse videos and hello from Montreal.
Thanks great to hear you liked it! It’s a Stevens 311 I believe I’d have to double check with him next time I’m up there. I do know it’s a stevens but alway forget the model
One of the last hunts I did with my wife we ran out of shells 1 bird away from limit. Ended up hitting one with my car on the way out of the woods
😂 ive definitely eaten my fare share of road kill grouse
how much for a tuque with shipping
Depends I offer free shipping on orders 75 or over you can check it out on the site
Savage 12 gauge double barrel? I have a savage 20 gauge double that I love hunting birds with.
I think so but id have to ask him again. Thats awesome id love to pick up a 20ga double one day
@@MainelyOutDoors well good luck finding some new 20 gauge shells. Nothing wrong with a good pump shotgun. I enjoy watching your videos almost as much as fishing or hunting myself up in the north woods.
Thanks! Got a new box for the next videos so the 20 will be back!
Wasn’t the shells
I shot them on a target later and they weren't even getting thought cardboard. Just lost its velocity
Side x side all day .....dad knows
Do you have a 16 gauge?
I dont but my friend Mike from the first grouse video this year shoots and was using one
@@MainelyOutDoors was asking because I have plenty of 16 gauge ammo.
Love the 16 by the way.
A father should alway have a SxS to hunt grouse with.
Dad’s double a Savage Fox mod b? Sure looks it.
I'm pretty sure it's a Stevens Model 311.
Yup it’s a stevens and pretty sure it’s a 311 but I’d need to check with him for sure
I didn’t know ground checking game birds was considered sporting.
Depends on your perspective, in some ways when people complain about sporting then I always wonder, you don't use a gun do you?
That honestly seems pretty unfair to me. Throw a rock, or a throwing stick, or just chase them down on foot and put the work in for real before you tell other people they aren't being fair or sporting to the birds. Go hand to wing against them for a season and I'll respect your comment a lot more.
Personally I'll shoot them how they come, on the ground or flying.
First
Second
On the ground? Sitting in a tree? Really?.............I'm being a wise guy, I shoot those buggers any which way I can as well. I'll even admit that if ducks tasted like Ruffed Grouse, I would gladly let the flock land in the decoys and line up as many as I could on the water! Great hunt with your dad. Wish mine was still here to do the same. Neat video, thank you.
😂 haha! I definitely get plenty of those comments! Thanks for watching im glad you enjoyed it!
Not very sportsmanlike shooting top quality game birds on the ground.
Why don’t you guys hunt turkey instead which will help the Grouse population. My dad taught me never to ground shoot a bird. Try getting a good bird dog.
What's with people thinking they are superior for having a different hunting style? And everyone should hunt the way you do?
Personally I think it's a cop out to send a dog in to look for birds, use your legs and go find them yourself.
If you think you’re a good shot try hitting one on the wing , even after a pointing 🐶 , I’ve been using setters for 50 + year you’ll think again ! It’s called Upland bird hunting ! The experience is 1;000% better !
You all need a great hunting dog to take out there with you. I’m in Virginia, but some of my buddies live in Maine. They have cockers as do I. It makes it much more fun
I cant wait to train a dog one day! I have very little experience with dogs but when I was young we use to have them. If i can just find a house during this crazy market ill get one!
@@MainelyOutDoors When you’re ready for one give me a holler if you’re interested in a spaniel. I’m friends with the Maine Commissioner of Marine Resources who also has cockers that hunt. They are fast, exciting and close working dogs. I’ve got 4 of them. I’m planning on going to the North Woods this September. Cockers are great hunting companions and house companions too. I enjoy your videos.
@@Workingcockers I absolutely would be! They are beautiful dogs and ive heard good things about there abilitys. Please send me an email so I have a contact point for you. I'll never find this comment they get baried very fast. - mainelyoutdoors18@gmail.com
Thanks for showing me a way to do some birding. My brother and I are talking about a trip up north next year, maybe the Golden Rd. I can't slog through the bush any more, but driving down a 2 track is absolutely doable for me.
Definitely a great way for those who aren’t as mobile to get out. Its a pretty common practice out here but not in many parts of the US because of laws
