welshboy454 3 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Last week on a wet day I shot a woodcock which came down in a field of rushes. My dog went to retrieve it and as I was watching I could see him gain the scent then narrow in to two clumps of rushes each about armchair size . The scent seemed to be up in the air about 2ft off the ground as he was looking in the tops of the rushes trying to get the bird. When I walked over he was still scenting high but the bird was dead on the ground. It just seems that when dead it was not giving off scent. Anybody else experience this ? Quote Link to post
ratattack 111 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 They have very little scent by nature, they are ground nesting/living so won't want anything to smell em Some dogs just won't pick em either. Quote Link to post
