Ok, thanks for that. I thought it was somewhere between Caribou and Fort Kent.

After watching that video, I now have a hankering for a bolt-action shotgun. Which choke is recommended for that kind of grouse hunting? Of course, there are no grouse in PA.

Whenever I get that hankering I reach for my 16ga Mossberg 190KB. It was only made in ‘57 and ‘58 and has special significance to me because as a kid the first time I was trusted to hunt alone was with my Grandfather’s 190. He only had two shells so he gave me his gun and the two shells and said, “Come back with dinner.” I did. My mother was relieved. My dad and my grandfather were proud and I was one happy kid when I gave him back his gun, the rabbit, and the 2nd shell.

That would make sense. You're definitely in the North Woods if you settle on Caribou or Ft. Kent. There's also a lot of birds between Houlton/Danforth. I've heard there's a little bit of farming near Danforth and sometimes you get open air, shooting opportunities on grouse between hedgerows like you'd see with pheasants. Uncommon but unique for grouse hunting.

If I lived in some of the places you guys do, I'd probably consider moving too. As for me though I'm right where I was bred and born and been all my life. Well except for school and the Army. I already know where the bream bed every summer and who has the best dove shoots, and if I was to move I'd have to learn all that important information all over again. The only problem here is the quail have disappeared. You can still hunt them but you have to go by the place and pick up a box of them to take where you plan to hunt...Geo
