Maine
has always been known as an Upland Bird
hotspot. Here at Loon Lodge is no exception, with ideal
cover and lack of hunting pressure our hunters usually end
up limited out at the end of the day. Maine is also a great
place to train that new pup, our birds lack the fear of
birds further south and hold better for the pup in training.
Many miles of tote roads grown in with alders provide great
habitat for our woodcock population and the many beech ridges
in the region make for great grouse habitat. A lot of our
older clearcuts are approaching the 10-15 year old age group
and many thrive with poplar trees, a favorite of upland
birds. All this adds up to great upland bird hunting and
as an added feature we have one of the heaviest populations
of snowshoes in the state.
Waterfowl hunting is nothing less than exciting. The area
around Loon Lodge is covered in marshes, wetlands, shallow
lakes and meandering deadwaters. All favorite haunts of
ducks and geese. Varieties include but are not limited to
Black Duck, Green Wing Teal, Ringneck Ducks, Pintails, Megansers,
Canada Geese, Snow Geese, Mallards and Wood Ducks. But occasionally
you can come across some Golden Eyes, Blue Wing Teal, Hooded
Merganers and more.
Loon
Lodge offers excellent guided hunts for both upland birds
and
waterfowl. Our guides have well trained dogs for flushing,
pointing and retrieving. For those of you with limited time
or are new to the area a guided hunt is highly recommended.
Our guides know the areas best covers for upland birds
and also have blinds and decoy sets for the waterfowl hunters.
If you decide to go with a guided hunt we can only recommend
one thing, bring lots of shells, you will need them.
