The woodcock are coming! The woodcock are coming!

Or at least they are already here. We have a pretty good flight coming through northern Wisconsin right now. We had 8 separate flushes in 45 minutes Saturday afternoon hunting a small area around our cabin. I was responsible for dropping one of them, as the unfortunate little guy flew in front of where I happened to be pointing my Parker. Black powder and #8 shot did the job. First time I have done some serious hunting with my hammer gun, and it did take a few flushes before I connected. I quickly caught on and now feel I can cock the right hammer and shoulder as quickly as I can with my "old" Ruger Red label. Can't wait to get out again.
