Some grouse around, migrant woodcock relatively scarce in northeastern Maine.  Of nine harvested grouse one was a mature bird and eight were young birds.  This is a fairly common age distribution for harvested grouse since older birds have learned to run from humans and dogs and so survive into their second year. It is early in the season but I have so far encountered a female bobcat with three almost grown kittens, a few whitetail deer and a moose or two.  No significant foliage coloration and most cover is replete with leaves, somewhat unusual for this time of year and we need a few freezing nights to turn the foliage colors to their typical autumn brilliance.  Plenty of Canada geese around in the fields but you cannot stalk them, they're too wary.  Years ago when sampling Canada geese on tundra we found the best collection tool was a 30/06 or .270 with 130 grain bullets.
