What a treat to be hunting woodcock near the end of January! We've nearly two feet of hard crusted, wind blown, depressing snow here and will miss the end of the Iowa quail season due to the darned snow and single digit high temperatures.
Thanks for the picture. It's like a salve to the wound of missing the end of the season.
