I used to occasionally see an unusual bird in Henderson County, but it was always flying away, so I never could identify it. One day, some people were hiking with me and flushed one back toward me, and it was definitely a woodcock.

Athens is the county seat of Henderson County, but we are to the east of I-45. As I understand it, East Texas is about the edge of their range.

Check the regulations for the open season, if any.
