In this exclusive series by the Shooting Sportsman Endorsed Lodge Program, Shooting Sportsman readers weigh in with their personal experiences at some of the finest wingshooting lodges in America.
“I tried Leen’s Lodge a few years ago after having hunted at another Maine camp, and I am incredibly happy I decided to give Scott & Kris Weeks and their outfit a try. I am amazed at how much the switch has improved my annual Maine grouse hunt.
“The Grand Lake Stream area is one of the most pristine, beautiful places in America, and Leen’s sits right in the heart of it. The cabins are very comfortable and well-appointed, and, best of all, they offer stunning views of West Grand Lake. I go with a small group of friends, and we love how the entire lodge property, with its fire pits, decks and great room, is such a great environment for socializing before and after the hunt.
“Most of the hunting takes place in very wild, scenic places that are within reasonable proximity to the lodge. And the guides, who somehow seem to get better every year, are great people with upbeat attitudes who work hard to ensure that every day in the grouse woods is a great one.
“One of the things I enjoy most about Leen’s is dining in the main lodge. They serve a great breakfast that features not only hearty food, but lake views; and dinners include delectable items such as gamebird appetizers, freshly baked bread, lobster, prime rib and wonderful desserts topped with spectacular sunsets over the lake. The great food coupled with the thoughtful presentation makes every meal feel like an event!
“Perhaps the thing I like most about Leen’s is the enthusiasm Scott and everyone there has for delivering a world-class experience for the guests. Both the Weeks and the staff are all smiles and seem to be genuinely excited about how your hunting day went or what they’ve prepared for dinner. This makes me and my group feel like we couldn’t possibly be more welcome, and it's why we don’t see ourselves going anywhere else but Leen’s.”
