Ruffed Grouse Society-Southern Maine Chapter

04/15/2026

Our friends with the Casco Bay Chapter of Ducks Unlimited are looking for some help filling tables at their event Saturday! The Southern Maine Chapter of RGS will pay for half the table if we can fill it with 8 people! That makes $35 a ticket and goes towards a great cause! I will also throw in an RGS glass for everyonee at the table!

We want to help support all wildlife in Maine! Ducks are just as important as the upland birds! Let’s help fill up this banquet!

Message me to join the table!

Saturday April 18,5pm, Portland Elks Club

Ryan is the best! We use him for all our taxidermy needs! The grouse and waterfowl he has done for us are amazing!

I mount quite a few woodcock, but I’m pretty proud of this one…. It had a hole in it the size of a golf ball and about 8-10 small holes as well…. Normally I’d say no and trash it but it didn’t have any pin feathers so I stuck with it…😅. And side note, it’s also missing its entire left group of scaps🤷🏼‍♂️
