Was walking through the woods today, and flushed my first woodcock. Has me wanting to give them a shot. Anyone ever hunt these long beaked bastards.

Shot a few. They fly erratically and not too fast. Used to jump them in the evening near dusk.

They are the primary reason I go to the woods and the only reason I have 3 bird dogs at the house. Quail are gone; they are the only wild upland bird to pursue in Louisiana. The meat is good, but I do it because I enjoy the dog work.

I was talking to a guy that hunts woodcock up around tensas. He said he limits out everytime. Supposedly there are a fair amount of birds in the crp fields...... I know zip about woodcock hunting. Hell I just had to google woodcock to see what they look like.
