Evidently it was a french dish broiled whole to rare.
It was good and I am currently trying to convince my family to try them.I'll let you know how that goes.

Yes these were cooked with the entrails in and then pulled out cooked some more,strained and poured over the birds.Sounds extreme but it was actually good.

Nice field lunch china. No paper plates for these bad boys. I like it!

I spent almost a month in Dickenson county and there was never a hint of snow. We had more days in the 70's than any other temperature and one day it just missed 80 It was hard to believe that in mid Oct in the U.P. you used the AC in the truck going from one spot to the next. Add to that we had lots of rain. It was either hot and dry or hot and wet.

Woodcock were an unusual sighting as there were very few birds. I bet I didn't see a dozen and I have some good woodcock spots. Lots of grouse however but I also had lots of flushes from trees. The birds are getting smarter as on two occasions when the dog pointed and the beeper collar went off the birds flushed wild.

I'm just back from 3 days in the northern part of Michigan's lower peninsula, hunting at a private club. The guides and I agreed that the sound of a dog's beeper collar is alerting the Grouse and they have learned to flush when they hear that sound.

My suggestion, get a gps collar and turn the beeper off. Better yet, throw it away.

We hunted Oct 21st. thru 26th and temps were moderate with light snow one day and heavy winds.Leaves were mostly down but plenty of birds did flush early.I also noticed some tree flushes.
Dogs we hunted over most had bells on and it seemed like the birds(Enough to notice)would flush as soon as the dog stopped.Other guide had no beeper or bells on his dogs and we got consistently closer flushes.Woodcock don't seem to mine either.
Did notice birds hopping into trees as dogs approach.Just whole new experience across the board having never hunted the UP before.
Going back for sure.
Next season got to figure a way to take more pictures.Got spooked trying to carry my phone with all the hang ups we went thru.I guess I'll pull out one of those old camera's to carry along.

Your only about 45 min north of where I hunt but there seems to be a big difference in temps and birds as I didn't have the woodcock numbers. I assume you experienced some lake effect snow as we had lots of rain the 26th and 27th.

The woodcock numbers increased each day.In fact the last morning we were in them everywhere we went.Snow was light but it was snow so thats a big treat for Florida boys.But it did freeze most mornings.
Beautiful area and looking forward to next year.
I don't know how to tell a guide that his bells could be the problem.We had plenty of shots but could have had more I'm sure.The guide with GSP pointers dogs were very good walking dogs.Stayed close and moved slowly once they got a nose full.It let you cover in distance needed to get in position.
I also noticed the guides gave verbal commands(few)in a very hush tone.Which I'm sure they knew would alert birds to mans presence.Looking back that alone could have brought up the subject of the bells.
Anyhow it was a awesome hunt.
