Opening day woodcock. We found 8-9, but only could get shots on two. The areas they were in were particularly thick and weren't our usual rivercane brakes. Hardwoods are still in full leaf which made the shot opportunity slim. Abby and Willa on the ground the whole day. Briers took toll on Abby's ears. Willa was unscratched. Both dogs did a whole lot better than their owner. Floyd's death ray Ithaca SKB 20; my MF Ideal 16. Last photo is of a lion's mane mushroom. These are a bonus in our woods this time of the year. It weighed 3 lbs. and the Dexter knife is for scale with a 12" blade. Gil
