Woodcock 2024

Do you think he just couldn’t smell it ?

When my dog hits the ground its a least 10 minutes before she gets her running around a peeing done before we can start really hunting. I shot a tree rat the other day and I let her out to get it and she ran right over it. Once she had calmed down it was back to business and she brought it to me.

He could smell it. My backyard is fields, forest and a big creek bottom. Sometimes he just goes bat butt crazy! He gets plenty of exercise he just can’t control his thought process and forgets his training

I feel that same way if I've been cooped up.

If he keeps playing around like that this will be his last season with me.

It seems my puppy does the same thing. I just have got to get a woodcock in her mouth this season.

He doesn’t normally stay cooped up. He’s just got a good dose of the crazies

I have started see birds the last few days in two of my spots that had birds last year. Hopefully they are still there this weekend.

I’m down between the ONF and BF Grant. If that’s not too far for you to travel, we can set a hunt up.

Took a short walk this morning. Didn’t find any birds but saw some “splash” that looked a few days old. Lukas and Lucy make for some good company that’s for sure !!

I went this afternoon with my buddy and his dog ended up with a limit.

 

[cj580guitar]

Glad y’all found some !!

Went Saturday and Sunday. One place there were no birds on Saturday. Tried another place Sunday and we found a pocket of birds in thick spots that had moisture. Got couple of shots at birds that corkscrewed me into the ground but no cigar. Rain needed desperately. Will have to wait for cooler temps this week. Not chancing it with no shoulders. Gil
