Lurchers Taking Woodcock

[whitefeet4190 1,725]

Is woodcock the same thing as a timber dick ?

caught a few over the years some by hand some by dog , not many, caut one against a rabbit fence dog ,just happend to be there at right time , retreived it ,i let it go was unharmed ,,some areas they clap and if you had a fly net get them easy but best left alone they have a hard journey,

 

saw lots in suffolk along ditches next to copses when out coursing back in ninties , saw several in a morning probaly still there as the land hasnt changed that much

My old bitch caught a couple of lucky ones one season when it was very cold and there seemed to be a lot in our area....I loved to watch her creeping down the beam like a cat, good old bitch she was.

my youngestbitch is the best bird dog i've ever owned, pheasant partridge pigeon collared dove, some bird or other most days. one night when i let her out to empty she went off into the little copse behind the cottage and brought a woodcock back live to hand, i warmed it up and let it fly off. only one i've ever caught, made a really weird croaking sort of noise when the dog was carrying it

Why would you want to catch Woodcock.
