We made our annual spring Woodcock photo safari this past weekend with 9 dogs and 4 guys. All of the pointing dogs pointed birds and both of the flushing dogs flushed some as well. We avoided the raindrops long enough to get some pictures.

dap,
We had our annual AWS Tower Shoot fundraiser last weekend in South Jersey. It was organized by Jim Mascola - AKA Jimmie Woodcock! This season was pretty good as far as bird numbers go but my understanding is that the reverse migration is looking fantastic. As I had posted, I bumped 4 just walking around a small area not noted for being a hot spot.
Hunting woodcock can be addictive for sure, the numbers are better than grouse and they are tough to hit in the thick stuff.
I had this Browning O/U customized to honor the bird.
