There is a magic to the Maine woods in October. The air is crisp, the foliage is a blaze of orange and red, and the coverts are alive with the flush of the King of Gamebirds. Maine Guided Upland Bird Hunting is more than a sport; it is a tradition deep-rooted in our culture.
At Thibodeau Outdoor Adventures, we specialize in putting you on birds. Whether you are chasing the explosive Ruffed Grouse (Partridge) in the big woods or waiting for the whistle of a Woodcock's wings in an alder run, our Registered Maine Guides know the terrain. We hunt diverse habitats—from abandoned apple orchards and overgrown logging roads to young aspen stands—ensuring you experience the very best of Maine Guided Upland Bird Hunting.
Our Maine Guided Upland Bird Hunting trips focus on two iconic species.
Native, wild, and incredibly fast, the Maine Grouse is the ultimate challenge.
When the "Flight Birds" arrive in October, the action is non-stop.
We offer a comprehensive full-day experience designed to maximize your time in the woods. Whether you are looking to walk miles of logging roads for Grouse or work a dog through the alder runs for Woodcock, our full-day trip allows us to cover the ground necessary to find the birds.
A complete day in the Maine coverts.
Spend a full 8-hour day hunting the legendary cover of Northern Maine. We focus on productive logging roads and covers known to hold birds. This trip includes a midday lunch break to refuel before heading back out for the afternoon push.
Love hunting but also love to fish? Our Cast & Blast package splits the day between the coverts and the river. It is the perfect alternative if you want to experience the best of both worlds in a single trip.
