Ontario woodcock reports 2014

[rf2]

I was bow hunting for deer yesterday morning south of Ottawa on some public land. I saw at least 15 woodcock, I stopped counting after a while. It made me regret going out for deer and wish I had brought a shotgun instead.

Nice. How many in the bag?

zero this morning on a public spot near a town with the same name as a recent US president...without a dog

saw a pheasant that had been hit by a car and a Greek crew with a motley crew of mongrels that bagged a jackrabbit shortly after we laughed at their dogs :-)

Worked dogs in some thickets out of our backyard today. A pudelpointer puppy I'm working got on 4 woodcock, was progressively stauncher on each and finished with a nice rock solid point. It was a blank pistol workout. Took a young setter out after for a quickie, 2 points 1 bird down. It typically gets stronger here in Niagara after Halloween. Couple that with it being a warm fall; would say the best is yet to come.
