We'll see how the bird numbers are. Karl Best of luck, Karl. I was up there with friends last Sunday. We found good numbers of woodcock. They hunted our best spots yesterday and didn't find any. Several days of rain, then strong NW winds and snow showers. I find it hard to believe they've all started south already. I was mostly checking new spots here in northern WI yesterday. No joy in most of those. But I did find several in a usually reliable covert.

My guess would be that the concept is American, and originates from an article in an American sporting serial that appeared a bit before 1897. Last edited by David Zincavage; 06/20/22 10:04 PM.
