Maybe I'll try it some year soon.

We hunted a small parcel (10 acres) of land one year in early Fall and two of us had our limits of woodcock within minutes. I think we had 18 flush within ten minutes of hitting the cover. Those were all resident birds. That indeed was a special day. I'll see if I can dig out a photo or two and post it. Dogs were going insane. Haven't had that kind of action here in the east ever. Have had equal to that on pheasants in both ND, Kansas and Montana in the past.
