Northern New Hampshire and the North East Kingdom of Vermont offer some of the best grouse and woodcock hunting in northern New England. This area is known for its excellent grouse and woodcock hunting, year after year. Woodcock can usually be hunted with success from October through early November. The alder runs and poplar stands of our area provide ideal cover for our resident woodcock, and "flights" of migrating woodcock from Canada make for some exciting shooting as well.

Perhaps the most popular and challenging of all the game birds is the ruffed grouse. Northern New Hampshire and Vermont’s mixture of hardwood forests and softwood thickets make an ideal home for grouse. Our northern forests are still actively managed for timber production, making many early growth timber areas so vital to the grouse's success.

Let Tom Caron of Frost Fire Guide Service take you to the prime grouse coverts, hunting the best of what northern New Hampshire and the North East Kingdom of Vermont have to offer. Hunt over Tom's steady and close working German Shorthaired Pointers, or take your own pup for a run through the grouse woods - the choice is yours. Check out our "Partridge Blog" to keep up to date on this grouse hunting season, as well as the hunting in years past.

We look forward to providing you with an excellent autumn adventure in the northern New England grouse woods!

"October is the grouse hunter's month, when frosty nights fire the hardwoods and allow the bird scent to linger."
