October is always a busy month and this year it has been no different. With snow in the forecast this weekend it must be coming to an end. I spent part of my time at Libby Camps in Northern Maine guiding grouse and woodcock hunters.

The leaves are turning and the days noticeably shorter. Here at Maine Outdoors that means switching gears a little. The Lund got a temporary cover this morning to keep the falling leaves out and the dog boxes got loaded into the Sequoia for the coming season. I’ve been working the dogs for about three weeks now when we all had a spare minute. On Wednesday the training is over and the grouse and woodcock season begin.

I have been contacted to speak at the University of Maine and by a couple of new guides about opportunities in guiding. All are extremely hopeful that the outdoor exploration part of Maine Outdoors is a huge success. I will have to tell them (again) that even though canoe trips and nature exploration are where I started there is little if any money to be made there.
