This is more of an Incredible Dumb Hunter With Dog Feat. My older Brittany Abby locked down on her first Woodcock when she was about a year old in her first season. I could see the bird at the end of her nose. Perfect flush, perfect two misses and it flew off. About a 100 yards away, nothing but leaves on the ground, she went on point in a wide open spot. "There's not a bird there". I went over to get her with gun open on my shoulder and the second bird pointed in her woodcockin' career got up clean without a shot.
Trust your dog.
