It’s a Good Day When.......
 

you run out of shells and have to walk back to the truck through good grouse and woodcock cover, holding the dog at heel...

A flight must have dropped in in the last night or two. We were deep in woodcock today on the “Scrubapple Sidehill” cover. We generally onle take 10 shells with us on a three-hour grouse hunt but today in less than an hour and twenty minutes in an area of about 10-12 acres Grace pointed 17 woodcock.

Day of dreams! That's great!

Woodcock hunt
 

Hunter and "Right Arm Companion" in sync > Congrats Dean that's why we keep going.

That is a great day.

And...what's the woodcock limit? Seems 10 shells should be more than enough! :whistle:

Under the consistant conditions on a skeet field 10 should be MORE than enough, but.....


I had a chance at a true double on woodcock (it would have been only my second on woodcock since ‘61 or ‘62) when three flushed simultaneously... but I got flustered and blew two new holes in a fine autumn sky...#@*%@!!

That's fantastic! From what I have heard flight woodcock have not hit mid Michigan yet

Went to M aine thursday and found more than the week before, with the cold and north wind they may come in a bunch this year. Last year was a constant trickle. My companion got a lot of use out of them .i was on for once and did not need many shells but he got to shoot a lot.It is all about the hunt, the day, the dog and the company.

You betcha Daniel!!!!
