ollie Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 This video from the start of December was filmed in the pursuit of the greatest game bird of them all. Quite a wintery day with snow, hail & strong wind, but ended up with a decent bag of birds. I hope you all enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Great shooting Ollie. I shot my first woodcock yesterday in about 5 years. We do get plenty but as we have plenty of people around it can be hard to get a safe shot. Something nice about shooting woodcock in the snow.

Cranfield Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Thats a nice bag in those conditions, never an easy bird to shoot, they just love to stick close to the contours, whether it be the landscape, or the tree line. Also masters of the backdoor escape. The background scenery was even more impressive with a covering of snow. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes shooting in snow is brilliant, especially woodcock.

Yes, lovely countryside and we've had plenty of snow this winter.

Like you I don't shoot hares, but I still like a rough shooting outing at woodcock.

Testing bird & great work for the dogs. Something exciting about the flush & waiting to see where the bird will appear.
