I am almost on my way up there. Woods sure look good; can almost smell the leaves now. I'll be in Maine later in the week after Grouse and Woodies.

God Bless, Louis

In Eastern Europe woodcock flied away some days ago. This - one guy with his Russian spaniel. Do Americans use spaniels for woodcock?

Vashper, gunners use both flushing dogs (like your Russian Spaniel) or one of the many pointing dog breeds. Our American Woodcock is a very accommodating bird that will hold very tight and is a favorite for those shooters who have a pointing dog.

Beautiful! It's been a terrific season in the NEK too.

Btw, is that a British side lock in the photo?

Dang fellas you are making me miss the Northwoods! Had a decent quail day on Wednesday but the brush country of south Texas, while great, isn't the back country of the Northeast.


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Got to love the Timber Doodles. Is that a Llewellyn Setter?

Fionn is a Decoverly English Setter, a Ryman style dog much bigger than the Llewellyns at two years of age and mid season he weighs 65 pounds.

Great pictures everyone. Thanks for sharing. Woodcock is still my favorite US upland bird. I hunt Gordon Setters for them, and shoot a little Scottish hammer gun after them. The woodcock woods is a special place.

Most of your of your shooting of woodcock is driven, do you ever hunt them with pointing dogs?
For those that do not know the European Woodcock is a much bigger cousin to our American Woodcock both birds are migratory and are equally spectacular table fare..

Hi zephyr

Although we do do some driven woodcock most is done over dogs walked up.

I am in Ireland where I had a great day walking up woodcock and snipe over pointers this week. I may head out for more as the ferries have been cancelled so I am stuck in the Emerald Isle.

I will take some pics if we get out and post them.

They are indeed great on the table.

Rgds,
Kiri
