Likely a very early migrant that came over on the hunters moon. Get a few woodcock on my trail cams scavenging around in the dark, old farmer often asks me if I,ve seen any if we meet Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shovel leaner 7,650 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 I would say we have had good numbers in my neck of the woods ( Cotswolds ) . Surprised by the number of shoots I go on that don’t allow them to be shot . I think they are a good sporting bird and if they offer a good spotting shot why not take one ? I’m afraid that shoot owners are reading and believing RSPB propaganda about low numbers . Not the case , there are good numbers arriving on our shores each November. The amount shot would have zero impact on numbers anyway. They also taste good , I’ve never eaten the guts though , not brave enough or hungry enough!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,763 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Not woodcock but flushed my first snipe of the season this morning. A very lively brace off of stubble on this very bright frosty morning. Great way to start the day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
