      ​@@ahunterinChrist Happy to bring you out! You can send me an email at mainelyoutdoors18@gmail.com to talk about it. However, during that time of year, the majority of the fishing you see on this channel won’t be the same. The rivers get too warm, and the larger fish return to the lakes and ponds. It’s more of the small stream fishing on blue line streams around that time.​ So depends what you're looking for.

    Grouse hunting is my absolute favorite born an raised in Alaska it’s all I’ve ever known. One of my favorite meats is grouse I ruffed or probably sharp tail are my favorite just last year I went out on a hunt with 2 of my buddies an hit all our 10 man limits in like 3 hours was an insane trip love too see others out there enjoying it too

      Yeah, grouse is by far the tastiest bird in North America! Pan fried or in jambalaya, it's by far the best tasting bird, wild or farmed! 😋✌️😎

    I have never limited out on grouse! I can take 5 a day, but the most I have ever taken is 4. If I was ever to hunt them seriously, I have no doubt that I could get my limit most days, but I prefer to take one or two for my supper and then start cooking. Thank you far these videos, and greetings from southern B.C., Canada!

    Great stuff as usual! I was up from PA the second weekend in Oct. and the trees were still fully leaved and near peak color. It made for limited shooting opportunities but we still found birds. Hunted on foot with my Labrador, walking the most overgrown roads we could find. Crops were full of mushroom pieces. The woods were loaded with mushrooms, some as big as 10-12 inches across. I wish I knew more about mushroom picking. Enjoy the rest of your season, Maine is a wonderful place to be outdoors!!!

    Great hunting! You’re correct that chocolate color phase is not a “red” or rufous phase. One more thing, a broken hand of the center primary tail feathers usually indicate a hen, the primary feathers growing right up to the tail feathers are the best way to determine sex of each bird, one or two-tan colored dots nearest the end(not the tip prior to)are sure ways to identify. Now young thunder chicken hunter I’ll leave it to you to determine which. I’m a grouse maniac with 47 years of being blessed to pursue these magnificent game & my state’s official bird. Good Luck and keep them coming. Tim Leighty 1GROUSE PA

    Jesse this might interest you but down here in NC , the red phase grouse is almost all we have ,, once a season maybe , I would see the grey phase , we have a season limit also here ,,,30 is that number , and three per day , although any more a limit is not needed, we don’t have the spread of birds to even make it possible to get a daily limit

    • @MainelyOutDoors

    I always enjoy your grouse hunting videos! In my state, grouse populations have gotten critically low due to the Forrests aging up and not providing suitable habitat anymore. The conservation agency has released some birds, but ruffled grouse will likely remain extirpated from most of the state for the foreseeable future.

    Awesome grouse hunting vid Jess! I always wondered about what does a grouse in the red or orange phase look like. Thank you for getting one in that phase. I’ve acquired tails from buddies that hunt them and that Breadcrust fly calls for that phase. Don’t really think it matters what phase. Anyway, loved that catch /cook grouse sandwich. Drooling here at work. Go get some more and keep the film rolling!

  • @bradeden1132
    @bradeden1132 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    FWIW. A broken tail band (two middle feathers) indicates a female or hen grouse, rather than its age. A male typically has an unbroken full tail band. But that’s not definitive, as some males have a broken band as well. The number of dots on the rump feathers. (The feathers on the lower back that cover the base of the tail) are a better indicator of sex. Two sometimes three dots on those feathers is a male. No dots or one dot is a female.

    @daveycrockett40 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The males have an unbroken band on the tail, the females have center feathers that are more mottles on the band and split it into two parts.
    If you want to age your birds, you need to look at the wing feathers adults are more rounded tips and juveniles have more pointed or frayed tips.

      I believe a 20 is the best for grouse. However, I know plenty of people that use a 410 and a 12. Use what you have and just know your range and shot pattern. That’s is the most important part

      28, 20, and 16 are ideal. too close and the 12 destroys the bird. 410 really should only be used for up close ground-pounding. it's a ballistic disaster and crippler of game.
