I've always thought that 8 bird limit a bit excssive, and figured they would drop it, but hasnt happened. I remember when we could shoot 5/day in Michigan, and we did, but we cut back on our own before they dropped the limit to 3. Only shot at 2 this year, and thought the one was a grouse going out off a spruce copse in the snow--of course I got that one.

For a migrational bird that is incredibly excessive and should be reduced to 4 birds per day (8 possession) per state... and the season per state should be capped as well to 21 days/state.

Almost no one hunts them in Georgia. I think the total killed in the state is about 500 a year

Great topic! I'm a recent transplant to SC from the northeast and grew up on woodcock and grouse (still spend the month of October up near the Canadian border and a couple weeks in SD every year since retired.) We have 2 bird dogs (and an old Parker) that would love to find a woodcock or two down here in SC but I am clueless as to what kind of cover to find woodcock here. We did hear the mating ritual in a half grown up and swampy woodlot late last winter...I assume the muck boots is a clue same as up north? Any guidance would be appreciated.
On a happy note we have found a couple wild quail on national forest WMA land but they are few and far between! |
