Apparently southwest is best for doves, pheasants and woodcock. Maybe I should move....?

"No township license required... for Fingal. Don't know about ofah but always good to have it anyway. Investigated the area last year was not an area I would readily hunt again. Found it quite a small area to hunt and the hedge rows are a nightmare of wild rose and thorn tears up dogs bad. Yet it is productive on the right days. " quote FFF
.................
Exactly . PLus if there are many hunters there I don't feel it's safe - too small.

The problem at Fingal is that there are more parking spots than there is huntable cover. This is compounded by the fact that the release schedule has become well known. A number of people who hunt there regularly are more concerned with shooting birds than with staying safe ... you get the kind of BS you see on popular steelhead rivers (deliberate crowding, cutting people off, etc.), but with loaded shotguns. It's pretty stupid to risk a fatal accident over an undersized chicken, but that's human nature for ya.
On the other hand, I was the only person there yesterday. I had the entire area to myself, all morning.
There's some dandy woodcock cover, too. It's a good place to find a few late-season birds.

Another woodcock flush on pelee today. Some crazy weather down here. Snow and wind. Makes hunting a whole lot funnier!

Just back from deer hunting! Didn't see a single deer but the grouse were sure out and about, never seen so many - should've taken the shotgun. Any doodles still around?

Do you think there is any chance we will find a couple around the Elmira area?

Got 2 woodcock today just a little south of London, seems the pickings are getting slim. The ground was partially frozen in the morning, not good for woodcock.
