In the words of several old-time woodcock shooters, “Woodcock are where you find ‘em.”

And I’ve found this to be true but my favorite woodcock covers are south facing semi-open areas with mixed brusy and grassy areas among wild apple trees and young pines upslope from seeps and creeks.
I’ve even found woodcock on northside slopes in the wetter areas that are basically sunlight-starved but have the cover they like.

The Texas “piney woods” sounds ideal!
