October's "Woodcock Moon"

[Rick Riddell]

Dean where in Downeast are you heading? We've had a ton of birds come through already, I'm hoping this moon and weather will bring more in!

The temp seems to have been falling all day here in north-central Kentucky. That old moon is getting fuller every night, too! I'm dying, here...

I won't be even close to Downeast Maine - I'll be up in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom where, in the elevations I hunt, major woodcock flights are about as dependable as spring peepers in January... but we almost always find a few and we are rewarded every few years by a really good drop. Problem is, as is usually the case with woodcock, you've gotta be there when it happens!
