Still some birds coming through, too bad the controlled hunt's gonna mess things up next week . 3 hens , 2 cocks and a grouse today, mid SW Ontario close to the lake. No cold weather for awhile after tomorrow, the trickle may continue for awhile yet.





also a fan from Tuesday with some white in it I haven't seen before

Supposed to be on call but the client finished up early so I had the morning before having to get on a conference call....

Hunted 2 spots in Norfolk Co. W/C found only in one spot, all birds flushed from one band of tight cover. Four flushed from there.

If the flight is in I can expect double digits in these spots yet all the birds were clustered in one area and most of the cover was blank. With cold weather and north winds I was hoping for fast action. But I can't complain: shot 3 of 4, which has to be my best shooting percentage on woodcock, plus a bonus pheasant.

Starting to suspect the numbers are way down this year.
