Since we are discussing our favorites ,I have to say ,Deans story on the American Woodcock was a treat to read ! The Timberdoodle is my favorite hunt ,when my Old Brit ,Chip was alive and well he could wind Woodcock at 40 yards if the conditions were right , haven't stopped thinking about my Old Buddy since reading the story ! Very Nice Dean ! We have some really good cover for Woodcock and there were many days when the flights were moving I would have a few dozen nice solid points in a morning's hunt ! Like yourself Dean ,for many years I have had a self imposed limit on the "Little Fellow " of around a Dozen to 15 Birds a season ,just enough to enjoy getting out for them and heat up the Barrels on the 410,and a few batches of my Woodcock Pate' !
