Back when Iowa was the #1 pheasant state in the nation (which it was for most of the 90's), a partner and I started a very small guiding business. Wild roosters only, over pointing dogs, private property. The guys we guided--all of whom were from somewhere east of Iowa--remarked on how lucky we were to have such great bird hunting. Over a beer or two one evening, my partner and I decided that it might have been part luck, but also part desire to live in a place where the bird hunting was that good.

Any of you guys in GA ever hunt woodcock? I'd imagine there must be some down that way in the winter.
