Nice work! My recent trip to Upper-Lower, Michigan, resulting in just one woodcock encounter. Spots that were stacked with resident birds in years past were sterile this year. Looking forward to some flight birds.

Nice Jim
I put up 5 grouse and 5 woodcock (6 flushes and 7 flushes with re-flushes) this past Saturday. I haven't had good Catskill grouse hunting in 3-4 years, and even then it was just mediocre. There are pockets elsewhere. I ran into 4 other bird hunters on public land and they all moved grouse. Here's to hoping the season remains good.

Victor, Hate to hear about Michigan as I am going there for a week this Sunday, lower part. Andy ,yes I have run into some pockets of grouse in NY just not where I was yesterday but not woodcock yet. This year is much better than the last few for grouse.

I had one covert with the woodcock, which I've named "Cocky Corner" : ) They had to be resident birds as they flushed about 15 feet each time and I let them be, they were small. There were a group of two then three individuals all in one general area. No others in other coverts. Best of luck Jim!
