TwoSmokingBarrels 11 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Before i get the whole "they're out of season" replies, this was shot on the 1st of January 2013 while they were in season, and only just remembered i had a photo. Here's a before and after of it being prepared for the oven! Was well chuffed with getting a woodcock, the bird of a king! . Next goal is to get a left and right! Before Plastic Surgery.... After its Surgey.... Edited April 14, 2013 by TwoSmokingBarrels 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I really enjoyed eating it, and of course didn't share, because simply there isn't enough meat on them Lovely to eat. Hope you did what the French do and didn't draw them(leave the guts in)!! Nope removed all the guts! Cooked it in the oven slowly wrapped in bacon and foil, mhmm! saw 2 woodcock yesterday while on a fox drive Very pretty bird aren't they!

brucemyster 75 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 had a go at one last season, don't know why I bothered, I couldn't hit a wet sack tied to a post let alone a woodcock!! I best blag one off the gamekeeper if I want to tuck its beak into it's breastbone and all the malarkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I best blag one off the gamekeeper if I want to tuck its beak into it's breastbone and all the malarkey They are very tricky to hit! Really fast aswell! Snipe are just even trickier, so small for a start and fast, dont know where to start! Yes that will be the only way Hopefully get another when the season starts!
