I would suggest going further North if you are going to make the effort to chase those little guys. The thing that would worry me about making the trip is the way I've found Woodcock to be there one day and then gone the next. Up North, there are so many that you can find them just about every day, but our reliance on migratory birds in the South means that weather will move them in a flash. For instance, some of my honey holes here in Georgia might produce 20-30 points one day and then zilch, and I DO MEAN ZILCH, just a couple of days later. It usually takes a fair amount of cooler weather up North before those little guys even start arriving. Last season was dismal, as I never did figure out their patterns. Neither did the people I know who are much better hunters than myself. I had two days when I found a bunch of woodcock last season. Both days were after the season ended while hunting RG. I'll try to remember you. If they show up this year then you can drive up to hunt a day or two with me.
