Reggie,
I would second what Rich offered for a grouse hunt. You need to experience that a few times with leaves on the trees and leaves off the trees  Rich I am currently looking at property s.e. of sault ste. marie for grouse and woodcock, there is supposed to be some sharptail areas in that area too.

As far as not shooting Woodcock, we try to hit the flight in Michigan every year. When the timing works out you can often get 50 to 200 contacts in a day. Have had times in the right cover, that you seem to go from one point or flush into the next. Great for the Dogs and we shoot very few. Like maybe 10 total in a week for two of us.
The trip is for training a new Dog or tuning up a veteran and not shooting. Get into Grouse and things change. Even then we have passed thru the numbers game.

FYI if anyone can watch the YouTube channel on their internet TV you can search for "grouse hunting" or any other type of hunting I imagine, and find show after show of hunters in the grouse woods.

Reggie:
I did view a couple of Maine Grouse hunt videos on YouTube last night, filmed by a two-man team (no dogs). Nice camera work, beautiful country, and a variety of game was depicted. Right off, I noticed that the camera was not showing birds getting up -- that is, until the first shots were fired. And the guns were usually angled down and held steadily and aimed toward the brush like a rifle at the first shot, maybe raised or swung for the second. The occasional wing-shot was duly-noted. Being out there, harvesting for the daily limit, cooking and enjoying the fare at the end of the day, and sharing the experience, was the object. The punctilio of how the shooting was accomplished was absent. Not much point, for those who seek to acquire guns specifically built for shooting on the wing, and practice on moving clay targets with them in the off-season, to culminate in a test of gun and skill on flying birds. Different strokes.
