I am not overly fond of eating woodcock, and thus don't shoot very many of them, unless over young dogs. I gave each of my dogs( 3 setters) a smoked woodcock fillet, and they would not eat it, honestly. The little house dog, Huck Finn also turned up his nose at it. I left the woodcock in their bowls all day, and they just ate around them--and they would eat all the grouse and pheasant pieces that I would give them.
Very interesting.
Sorry Harold I don't understand, why shoot them if you are not going to eat them. I've hunted my dogs for years on woodcock great for training but I don't like them either so I don't shoot and move the dog on to the next cover. Sorry just I just don't agree
