Kevin, this is the worst Woodcock year in our area since 2018. That pre Christmas cold snap where highs were in the teens just moved them out IMO. I went hunting on Wed with folks and we had 3 dogs down. In a bit less then 3 hours we moved zero birds. This was in the Piedmont area of Va. They aren't here this year.
PS. I killed 4 birds this year. I usually kill a good bit more. I know one fellow who last year killed over 50 birds in total and he killed 6 I believe this year. Hope its just a freak year and that it doesn't have something to do with the general population.
