2017 woodcock reports thread

South of 401 this morning, slow going with 5 birds flushed. Disappointing as I normally expect lots of birds in last week of Oct.

Don't worry they are on their way......and so am I. Figure 1 more hunt before I have to head south. Last year a push came through right in the middle of the control hunt and had to sit it out.

Excellent weekend action. Saturday had 2 dogs and 3 gunners out. We stopped counting after 20 flushes. Today just 2 guys and 2 dogs and we had 13 flushes. Hunting west of Stratford area. Woodcock for dinner every night!!

Was out and about around Mount Forest ,Palmerston - Priceville and flushed 7 or 8 without a dog. ( we were not targeting woodcock ) . May go back next weekend and try for some.

Better sooner than later as don't think they'll stick around. Hope you get after them with a dog as for me nothing better than that.

I know it would be a blast but I don't have a bird dog, Someday maybe.

Ah just get rid of that pup you found. Or I am sure you can burrow one as long you don't mind the handler to tag along
