SportingShooter 0 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 That time of year again folks, Anyone seeing any? Shot one last Saturday and I've seen a few on the lamp since. Seems we've had a fall Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie391 74 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I have seen a few in the last couple of weeks while out lamping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,415 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Put 4 up this morning in 3 hours. I can safely say I've never seen 4 woodcock in a mornings shooting around here so early in the season. Put 1 up the opening morning last week so compared to other years they're early.

neil cooney 10,415 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 And the lad I was shooting with went back out after dinner for an hour and put up 2 more. That's more than usual for around here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chicken_man 1,651 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yes mate! Saw 3 on Saturday morning, just getting light it was. Was alongside a conifer plantation, very boggy land, ideal for them! Beautiful bird's they are :-) Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CRAZYHORSE 2,647 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 woodcock in the snow 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flairball 141 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 We've been seeing them in big numbers, here. The dog flushed about 25 the day before yesterday, and probably 15 today. I've even managed to put a few on the ground. Of course, these birds aren't nearly as big as what you all have, but they're still good sport. And eating. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice to see......ours are just arriving from the continent, the next few weeks should see decent numbers arriving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
