Well I guess they must have bypassed my VT coverts, or when they fell into them I must have been at home. I was at home in Mass on the 23rd through the 26th and then yesterday and today...BUMMER!!
The best woodcock flight I've ever encountered was a decade ago when Dave and Danny Suponski came up from CT to hunt with me and we moved 14 woodcock in 15 or 20 minutes and several grouse too. And that was before I had Gracie, and I fear I may never again have such an experience...
We moved a ton of birds that weekend!
