Rustic 0 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Is there any good reading to be had on the woodcock SS ?? The most definitve book to date on the woodcock is by the late Colin Mckelvie (Swan Hill Press). Well worth buying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jojas 0 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Seen none, ever, up here. But to be fair I don't shoot locally (gateshead/newcastle), just walk the dogs. Been beating near Lincoln town and I reckon there must have been 18 or 20 I saw in 4 hours. 6 were in the bag and the guns all said they had never known so many as this year.
