The woodcock numbers increased each day.In fact the last morning we were in them everywhere we went.Snow was light but it was snow so thats a big treat for Florida boys.But it did freeze most mornings.
Beautiful area and looking forward to next year.
I don't know how to tell a guide that his bells could be the problem.We had plenty of shots but could have had more I'm sure.The guide with GSP pointers dogs were very good walking dogs.Stayed close and moved slowly once they got a nose full.It let you cover in distance needed to get in position.
I also noticed the guides gave verbal commands(few)in a very hush tone.Which I'm sure they knew would alert birds to mans presence.Looking back that alone could have brought up the subject of the bells.
Anyhow it was a awesome hunt.
