Mr. Clark thank you for a very interesting post. I am very interested in everyones opinions as far as seeing changes in woodcock behavior over the years you have hunted them. I have hunted them for 50 years, intensively for the last 33. In that time they seem to have stopped ''towering'' and now fly close to the ground weaving through the cover. Also they seem to be more prone to flush at a longer distance. I hunt in Maine and the birds have probably seen some pressure before reaching me. Have others seen the same? I have also seen a marked increase in interest in hunting them over the last 10 years.
