ollie Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Despite the bad forecast for today, this morning turned out to be quite good. Myself and my mate decided to do a run we have only been on once this season; on that occasion we bagged 6 woodcock. Anyway we weren't long getting amongst the woodcock and over the next 3 hours we must have flushed approx 30 woodcock. I would say we didn't get a shot at half the birds as some of the cover is quite thick. We ended up shooting 5 birds each and my mates dog caught a bird, so 11 in total and we missed a couple of birds each. Below is a picture of the final bag with my Springer Dawn. I hope to get out tomorrow before the season ends, however, if I don't get out this was certainly a good way to end the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodcock11 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Great work - we saw I guess 8 to 10 today - most sadly unshootable and the final tally was one. Never mind, woodcock are great to see and a modest harvest is good enough - we added 20 cock pheasants to the day plus a fair number of duck. All over for another year, unless you head down to the Republic - I hsve shot plenty this year and it will do. Thanks for your reports from the beautiful Glens.....

I got out again today and between 2 of us we shot 4 Woodcock & 2 Snipe (sadly no pictures). I ended up with a personal tally of 26 for the season which is slightly below what I would normally shoot; however, I haven't got out as much this year.
