La. woodcock 2017
 

Little slow on our first day of hunting here but still had fun.Back at it tomorrow.
Two woodcock and two snipe(don't ask where the snipe came from).

great picture of some fine looking woods to hunt in...what kind of old double is in the picture and what load did you use to bag the snipe and woodcock...i once ran into a covey of snipe had about 12 birds in it best i rember i got 3 birds out of this covey...i had a german short hair that pointed really well on them.....charlie

Gun on the trailer with birds is a 20ga trojan,gun Chris is holding is a Dickinson 20ga(new).
Had a awesome day today with over 30 flushes.

Here are some pictures of todays hunt.Same trojan with me and Chris has the same Dickinson.Birds seemed to be everywhere today.Had one area that was covered.Every step I took seemed to flush a bird.Dog just stayed on point as I missed repeatedly.Finally gain my composure and started knocking birds down.

That looks like a blast Bob, thanks for the pics. Where exactly were you hunting?

We're in La. east central above Baton Rouge.Been coming here for a few years and woodcock hunting can be awesome.

I had a grand trip planned down there the week between Christmas and New Years. Canvasbacks on Lake Catahoula in the mornings and woodcock in the afternoons. Had to cancel at the last minute due to lake of either bird in the region. I'm glad you boys got into a few.

Destry we got skunked last year no birds anywhere.But as you can see we hit it just right.Woodcock were a little difficult but we found birds and some real good pockets of birds.We flushed over 30 birds in an hour in one.

Now this year the ducks were there for sure.Lots of mallards and greening teal with some gadwall and pintails.Hunting was great for the last week of the season.Birds decoyed well and plenty to shoot.

great pictures of a mighty good hunt...charlie
