Welcome to the Back Forty where quality is our service. Wisconsin is the top grouse state in the nation. Price County is one of the top counties in Wisconsin for ruffed grouse. We have hundreds of thousands of acres of prime grouse habitat. The terrain is mostly flat land with gentle slopes. There are areas of interspersed aspen stands of various growth stages, with abundant alder edges, balsam fir, and woodland shrubs. Areas like these are where grouse are most abundant. Wisconsin does offer a good local population of woodcock. Normally our northern flights of woodcock come through Price County during mid October. Our normal October temperature varies between 40-50 degrees during the day. Each morning usually brings a frost. Our leaf cover is 90 percent lost by the 15th of October. Each hunt is targeted to the client, taking into consideration his/her physical condition.
A typical day starts with a hearty breakfast at 7:00 a.m. After breakfast, your guide will transport you to the hunting area. At mid-day, a field lunch will be provided. You will be able to hunt all afternoon until dusk, if you so desire. As the sun begins to set, it’s back to our north woods lodge (Timber Doodle Inn). Now it’s time to unwind and enjoy a hot shower and refreshments. Dinner will be served between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m. After dinner, the evening is yours. By the time you turn in, you’ll have made some enjoyable memories and tomorrow’s adventures will be just a few short hours away. Your birds will be cleaned and frozen. We can prepare them for your dinner or arrange for any taxidermy orders.
Our season dates are from mid September to the end of December. We can schedule any number of days you would like to hunt.
