This has been an awful year for me in regards to getting out hunting. The dog being down for a couple of weeks didn't help. I still haven't shot my first woodcock and with all this snow I probably won't get an opportunity after deer season. I've been wanting to shoot one just so I have a training bird for the dog. I have always kept multiple ducks in the freezer and a grouse as well although I don't use it much - he's a grouse finder through and through. I'd just like to be able to have an intact woodcock so he knows those are just as important even though I haven't shot any over him yet.

Put up two woodcock on pelee island during the clean up hunt. Lots of robins and doves around there too this week.

Nice ! I found around 6-7 on the last main hunt , mainly in the hedgerows on Stewart Road ... did you find them in the thick brush or also along fences/hedgerows?
Thanks

We have about a foot of snow but the robins have been in huge numbers while I've been deer hunting the past week. Which makes me hopeful I'll still get a poke at some stragglers.

I flushed one while moving the BBQ at the cottage we rented LOL. Scared the crap out of me. It was on the south side near Curry RD. The only one was also on the south end of the island on South Shore Road.

LOL yeah they'll make you jump especially when you don't expect a flush! Same, I mainly found them near the south end of the island, so they were probably getting ready for the trek south across Erie into Ohio.
It was definitely nice to flush a few while there as a bonus bird on Pelee!

I flushed 2 yesterday when heading out to my deer stand (Niagara).
I'll hopefully get out with the dog for a last try.
