Woodcock flights

[Mike of the Mountain]

We hunted western Maine two weeks ago. Saw more mudbats than we did in 2018. We really weren't seeing any numbers to speak of until the front blew through Wednesday-Thursday. We think that may have brought some birds down since the front was a Nor'easter. Last year we missed the flight too. The Friday of our week we started seeing good numbers flying overhead at twilight. All that said means we may have them in NEPA next week. When the birds are here we have some of the best shooting of the season, albeit only for a few days. Here's hoping!!
