Northwind Scout-N-Hunt

Northwind Scout-N-Hunt Our mobile state maps locate the 5% of prime habitat for the best grouse hunting on public land. Upl Research is the key to a successful grouse hunt.

Our analysis creates the following layers of information prime habitat and its relationship to a successful hunt, property boundaries, and GPS data. Habitat layers are defined by labels and color coded so the user can easily identify habitat combinations that are located adjacent to or near the "Prime cuts". By knowing the habitat near a prime cut makes it easier to anticipate where a grouse may

be located and also which direction the bird may use to escape. Scout-N-Hunt Mapping has a solution for every situation. Since 2018 iScout-N-Hunt Mobile Habitat Maps have been totally “offline” maps. That means you do not need cell phone service to use it which is perfect for the Northwoods and Prairie Upland hunter. We also offer GPS Grouse Habitat Maps for Ruffed Grouse. These maps can be viewed on Google earth and Garmin Units. The maps are created to target public land by state. You can buy one state or all of them. Hunt Smart with research driven habitat maps at your finger tips.

Happy National Dog Day to the hunting partners who make every mile in the woods worth walking. 🐾

And let's be honest, watching a good dog work is even better than finding the bird.

Young aspen gets a lot of attention from grouse hunters and for good reason. But if you only focus on finding the "right" age of aspen, you might not find birdy grounds.
What's the cover like surrounding the cut? Food? Conifers? Wet cover? Older timber? Escape cover? Wide open?

August is when I start getting serious about fall. As you're scouting, don't look for just one thing in grouse cover.

Look for diversity: young aspen, thick cover, conifers, food sources and edges that give a bird an escape route. The more of those pieces you can put together in one area the better.

What are you seeing in the covers you're scouting right now?

One of the biggest mindset shifts I've had over the years is this to ask: "What has the habitat been through?"

That one question changed the way I scout, travel, and hunt.

I wrote more about that in Part 1 of our Preseason Planning Series if you'd like to dive deeper. https://mobilehuntingmaps.com/using-drought-to-read-habitat-quality/

One thing farming taught me: Insects aren't spread evenly across the landscape.

When conditions get hot and dry, birds don't just disappear. They shift toward places where moisture, insects, and good cover still exist.

That's one reason I spend so much time looking drought reports instead of just bird reports. Have you noticed birds concentrating in certain cover types during dry years?

How's the weather where you hunt?

Has it been hot and dry? Plenty of rain? Somewhere in between?

One of the first things I look at before planning a trip is how the growing season has shaped the habitat. The weather birds experienced this summer will influence where I start looking this fall.

👇 Tell us what you're seeing and where you're hunting.

In Part 1 of our new Preseason Planning Series, Ann Jandernoa explains how drought shapes habitat, insect populations, brood survival and ultimately where birds are likely to be when hunting season opens.

Ready why a drought map should become your favorite planning tool. https://mobilehuntingmaps.com/using-drought-to-read-habitat-quality/

As I celebrate this Independence Day, I find myself especially grateful. Grateful to live in a country where I can explore our forests, climb our mountains, and spend my days in the northwoods. Every trail, every sunrise, and every moment in the outdoors is a reminder of just how blessed we are.

I also know that none of this would have been possible without the courage and sacrifices of the men and women who came before us. Their willingness to serve, protect, and preserve our freedom gave generations like mine the opportunity to experience this incredible country and pass that love of the outdoors on to others.

As we celebrate America's 250th anniversary, may we never take those sacrifices for granted.

From my family to yours, I wish you a safe, meaningful, and happy Independence Day. May God bless America, and may we always remain thankful for the freedoms we enjoy.
