I cant wait till next fall. This one of my favorite things to do .truck camping and bustin grouse.

[@raisedoutdoorsmaine]

Great job Jesse!

[@raisedoutdoorsmaine]

Great content, we are a Maine hunting family and enjoy watching. Keep up the good work!

[@castandblast1852]

I am a predominantly quail hunter in north eastern Kansas. I am heading to SD for pheasants in 2 weeks. I love watching your hunts because you use no dog and the access you have to the logging roads is just so cool.

[@nickboisclair5566]

Just found your page this week and I have been binge watching all your videos. Top quality product. Love the fact that you’re also in New England too.

[@trevorsnow35]

Nice gun. Got the same one. Never let me down.

[@MainelyOutDoors]

Same here nothing fancy but gets the job done and im not afraid to beat it up a bit

[@theknightswhosayyeet5185]

A good grouse Dog would take your hunt to the next level.

[@MainelyOutDoors]

I can’t wait to get a dog one day! Need a house and yard first though

[@JOELCONLEY]

Love the footage and the way you put it all together. I'm just north of you in NB and the terrain looks very similar! Keep it up!

[@RomeoEdward]

Great video, I haven't been grouse hunting for several years, but your video is inspiring me get back out there

[@tnjoutdoors2050]

I limited out on thanksgiving day in eagle lake. Had 3 by 9:30. Worked hard all day for the last one.

[@wildbrookies]

Liking all your videos!! Love how you rough it and compromise with whatever you have. You did a great job with putting a meal together with one bird! Continue to have fun out there and keep the vids coming out!

[@erikroach8235]

Love how similar Maine and New Brunswick are

I missed well today !!!!!! 😁 Thanks for the content from MICHIGAN !

[@MainelyOutDoors]

Happens I missed two wing shots I took today but still had a great hunt. Better luck next time for us both!

[@brianfeeney9493]

Always a Privilege to be out in The BUSH !!!!

[@joshtwyman6319]

May I make a suggestion for next year for a rabbit catch and cook. Rabbit is my favorite small game I’ve had so far especially grilled.

[@mikesmalley3394]

Nice video that grouse you got would of been a perfect one to take to the taxidermist

[@MainelyOutDoors]

Agreed that one was a beauty!

[@mendozaconsultation]

You should do a what to, how to, hunt and eat in the wilderness in the different parts of the country

Once again nicely doe. BTW nice job on the truck camper

I spent many nights underneath a pickup topper in the middle of nowhere by myself grouse hunting, Loved every minute of it. I'm on my 51st or second season. If it's a nice night out, I always loved a pine bow bed and a campfire and fall asleep looking at the stars 🙏🙂

[@liammartin6772]

Great vid. Maine's grouse season has been amazing this year! I've had my best year by far!

[@joshua92jeffery]

your b roll shots are stunning

[@dirkbogarde7796]

i would like to see cleaning the bird. thank you .

[@MainelyOutDoors]

There’re a few up on youtube, but they don't like that stuff so until things chance ill have to leave it out

[@vaoutdoorssportsman3555]

Looks great! Keep on sharing the good times!

[@mikehygj9221]

Yo Jesse,, stumbled on your videos and love em bud!!! I live in Vermont and my late uncle would always take me and my cousin to northern Maine every year to fish. What a BEAUTIFUL state you have. I remember going on the golden road up to Baxter state park and was amazed at the unspoiled beauty of the area. Truly a state treasure for sure! Fishing for wild native bookies and salmon was so cool! Really like ur recipes too! That turkey roll looked awesome! Keep up the videos, plan on stripper fishing next spring down in Saco area. Can’t wait

[@brucekiszely2995]

Great location, great video, reminds me of when I was young, camped out of my truck on state land while bird hunting!! 👍

[@MainelyOutDoors]

Maybe you can still do it one-day ive even got my dad doing it at this point

[@brucekiszely2995]

@@MainelyOutDoors possibly next season!, Thanks for the comment!!

[@GusFromDaysPast]

Enjoyed the video as always. Can't wait to see how the rest of your season progresses as you release more videos. Wish I had a chance to get up to the Golden Road this year for some bird hunting. Just too busy. Hopefully next year. Not too bad of a year for me (hunt-wise). Got my first patch this year! Can't wait to see the next video!

[@monkeybarsoffroad]

Hey Jesse did you ever figure out the name of that mountain? I agree it looks like a fun one to climb.

[@walkeroutdoorsadventures8521]

Love your videos brother. Beautiful country up there.

[@lojoeoutdoors]

Looks delicious to me! We don't have those birds here.

[@MainelyOutDoors]

Its to bad they are delicious and fun to hunt!

@@MainelyOutDoors My truck goes north. Maybe you'll see us up there one day :)

[@joshdyer3670]

Can’t always have a limit out kinda day but that spot you camped at was amazing only thing that could have made it better is a spot to fish👍🏻

[@MainelyOutDoors]

Couldn't agree more

Thanks Mike anything tastes good out in the bush I find

[@OrjanDybvik]

Love the the videos, Jesse! In Norway we aren´t allowed to hunt from motorized vehicles, but I do alot of Ptarmigan hunting, as well as black grouse and capercallie. Those are the birds we have here :) Fun to watch how you guys hunt, definately subscribing, keep up the good work with the channel.

[@konstantinedimarhos2624]

watch eric forester if u want the real deal..dog work and real shooting.

Hi - You have neglected to post what shotgun and shells you use?

Elric Martinez you neglected to read the comments... Shells are probably just cheap #7's...

I’m really enjoying all your outdoor adventures and content. Be awesome to watch you climb some mountains here in Maine!

[@jaredscabinlife2868]

What a beautiful camping spot wow

Thanks Jared! Maybe i'll climb a mountain for a catch and cook at some point

Great edit with some good action 🔥

Glad you enjoyed

Cool 👌👍

[@josephbastien8006]

Hello from Michigan's Thumb! Just found your channel and greatly appreciate the peace and quiet (NEVER could understand why all the crappy music on most outdoor vids. I've never heard it while I'm afield, thank God!) Anyway I truly enjoyed this and am subscribed. One question: is there no hunter orange requirement in Maine?? Looking forward to catching up on your content. God bless!

[@MainelyOutDoors]

Thanks Joseph great to hear you enjoy them! We dont need orange so long as there's no big game hunt in season. I typically have one on but its on my head so you can see it with the gopro and when i talk to the big camera I take it off becuse it messes up the color of the shot.

[@pedjaftw]

What shotgun is that?

[@JonathanSwiatek]

I would make a stir fry all day every day 🙂

[@jeffunger4364]

I really enjoy your videos and watch them my oldest son, he's 8 years old. I started taking him with me grouse hunting and he just loves it. This was the first time I've seen someone keep the legs, most guys just pull out the breast meat. I usually let my boys eat the breast meat and I eat the legs. I think I would have made a grouse fried rice and used the bbq sauce.

[@MainelyOutDoors]

Thanks Jeff glad you two enjoy them! I love the legs. I like to save a bunch up and then put them in a slow cooker with some hot sauce or barbecue sauce.

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

This is what I would have done with your supplies.. First off, I would have dumped the dates out. Those are nasty man. LOL! Oiled the breast, dipped it in Panko/seasoning and fried them. Then open the box of wine, chug it, and pass out in the back. :)

[@MainelyOutDoors]

that’s pretty much exactly what I did with that red wine 😂

[@TrumpDesantis-zm3kg]

are you up by kokadjo

[@gregbryan851]

Do you ever use a fork or spoon? No judgements here, just realized I've never seen you eat with anything but chopsticks. Anyway, frivolous question I know. Really enjoying your channel. Great variety and quality footage. Keep it up!

[@MainelyOutDoors]

Not unless I’m at home. Chopsticks are just easier to pack and clean in the bush plus I can always just make some out of sticks. I’ve had a camp utensils 3 or 4 times now and I just lose them so why bother. But with the truck cap camper maybe I should have a few

[@andrewkulis4279]

Jess, I would try stuffing the breast with rice and chopped dates some of the spices that you have, then cook them in the barbeque sauce and a glass of red wine, don't know how it would taste but its worth a try. Great video as normal

[@MainelyOutDoors]

That sounds really interesting! I wish I would have had more time I would have definitely tried something out of the box like that. Maybe I'll have to do this again when I have more time to spare!

[@chrislapp9468]

"There's nothing here except for me, some moose and all the people who moved up here from Massachusetts because of the pandemic. So if your looking for solitude or a good place to hunt, try.....(?).

We call a red phase brown with the black band and neck band are real red also not black.
