I have followed this thread and others like it over the last few years and it mirrors my experiences. I hunt in Maine and have for 30 years, seeing the ''cycle'' for the first decade then no rebound in the last 15 years just a slow downward trend. Yes I am older but my sons and grandchildren have the legs to find them. We have also seen the woodcock go from a certain 5 a day to 3 now to maybe none. I have seen no change in logging and hunting pressure is less, the road hunters have dwindled to a very few.Going off the beaten path is very little help but we will be again this year and keep looking in different covers. The area is in western Maine in an unorganized township.
