Caught up with some birds. A little challenging today as concentrated birds made for multiple flushes for the pup. Mom played clean up as was too pooped to pose.

post location pls.
Just about to head out the door to see if I can find any out in prince Edward county. Just going to be a quick hunt as I am working nights tonight. Hopefully they're still piling up there before crossing lake ontario. I haven't seen a single one yet this fall.
Didn't need too you pretty much did it for me.Quote:

If the weather forecast holds true snow in Gravenhurst should push the last of them down. The cooler temps may have pushed them along however I think lack of rain may be the problem. Been finding my usual spots are drier than norm and have found birds more closely related to water in the bush. If you're not seeing puddles have a look around for wetter habitat.Quote:

On the river today in Wellington county masquerading as ducks...
Sunday - 3 woodcock in 3 hours. Hunting in woodstock area. Birds harvested were very fatty.
moved 9 birds in 1.5 hours around Newmarket.
We worked hard for this birds.
Sadly it was the best day this season.
I haven't cleaned the birds, but only one appeared to be fat. Not good.
Most look like females, so it has to be the tail end of the migration.
Almost done :(
