Beautiful pictures, Dean. What a wonderful time of year.
Woodcock that are being tracked via gps indicate that the migration is slow to get started but there has been some movement in the last week. It has been my experience that dogs run heavily on woodcock and preserve birds have a tendency to crowd grouse. Once trained though to stay off their birds and stop at first scent a dog can be good to adequate on all of them but it takes training to do so. It becomes especially critical when grouse numbers are low with a high percentage of old birds in the population. |

Gary where do you find the gps tracking information ? I used to have it through a site which no longer updates.

I got the gps info from the PA grouse biologist. According to her the Ruffed Grouse Society is supposed to make the data available through their web site. I have not checked to see if it is available.

Thank you, that is the site i was following but it has nothing for 2018. Just looked it up again and it is dated 2018 but will not load the map. It was fascinating to follow one from New Brunswick in 2017 the south and north paths over lapped and it returned to the same area by the same route. Some of them flew some very long distances in a 24 hour period. You can still access the 2017 fall and spring migrations, it is very interesting.

There have been two different woodcock tracking schemes on the RGS website in recent years. One, that depicts the flight paths of gps equipped birds. The second, is a mapping venue where hunters can report woodcock migration conditions. The latter is still there but has been changed and doesn't work well for me. |
