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.
