My cousin wanted to go for a hunt on Friday so that he could put his young dog Lola on some woodcock. She is only 6 months old and is shaping out to be an excellent bird dog. She pointed and retrieved about 3/4 of the ones we shot.

I'm heading south into Prince Edward County right now to see if I can flush a few. I would imagine they're just about gone around here.
Good job huntervinnie,
Looks like you guys and the dog had a lot of fun, hoping to get out sometime this week before they are gone.
They seem to be clearing out fast. Saturday the dog put up 21. Returned to the same coverts today and found just two. Tried another spot and turned up 7 more but I had to work for those ... I actually had to crawl on my hands and knees to get in where they were. (The dog found this most entertaining....)
I only put up 1 today. Think my goal of getting a woodcock this season went south on me
Got one Friday and missed two on Saturday, not great but atleast the dog got some work.
I went out for a couple hours today in a usually pretty good bush and didn't move a single one.
While grouse south of North Bay on the weekend we flushed a 3 woodcock a total of 6 times.
Flushed 4 woodcock in the Kawartha's yesterday. I also flushed 9 grouse. It was a perfect day to be out.
Was out today and flushed 3, got two, north of Barrie. There are definitely still a few around but will be gone any day now.
