Grouse hunting in Maine
For the serious upland bird hunter, Bowlin Camps Lodge offers a grouse hunter's paradise. We are nestled among miles of old logging roads with new growth forest, giving you endless access to prime grouse hunting country. The area also provides an abundance of woodcock, as well as the occasional duck.
Our staff can get you pointed in the right direction, or hire a guide to put you onto some great hunting.
Grouse hunting has been a time honored tradition at Bowlin since 1895. We make your bird hunting our top priority.
Bowlin Camps Lodge is a member of the Ruffed Grouse Society and proudly supports their conservation and management goals.

Woodcock, Turkey, Duck Hunting
Woodcock migrate to Northern Maine and many make the Bowlin area their summer home.
Due to the combined efforts of wildlife management and sportsmen, Maine's turkey population is making a strong comeback.
Several species of ducks including puddle ducks can be found in the area.
We are surrounded by many ponds that support a variety of ducks including the Common Merganser.
