The official 2016 woodcock reports thread

Hullet this morning, 2 for 8. No repeats.

Unlike last weekend, birds were not scattered. But some of the good coverts still came up blank.

Took the puppy out for about four hours this afternoon.
North of Barrie.
Some "chalk" observed but nothing to indicate a lot of birds.
No woodcock flushed.
Two grouse flushed out of range, none harmed.

I check the local spot in GTA daily, no flight birds yet, probably in a week.

Yesterday, one lonely bird at Hullett (though I wasn't heavy in the wc cover).

I hunt the Oro-Medonte Area, just north of Barrie. Put up 6 woodcock last Saturday, and ended up with one of the 6. Only put up 2 yesterday morning but no birds in the bag.

Thanksgiving always marks the arrival of the woodcock to my bush. This year no exception. Seems a flight just came in birds really jumpy and located in one small area I hunt. Was bit of Bozarro world hunting as the grouse seemed glued to the ground though.



On a side note thought I got a bonus grouse when I stopped for a road kill. Shocked to see a Zombie got it first . Time to start packing the Zombie loads now

Hunted 5 hours today with my lab. Flushed 1 woodcock and 3 grouse. Sent one payload of lead into the sky, but to no avail. The migrants aren't here yet. The good news is we might be getting some north winds next week.

1 grouse today no dog. Never happens but got called back into work after I had left so didn't want to take time running back home to get the dog again. Young bird.
