This cold weather I can pick them up by hand. The other day I had to turn around as I forgot something at the camp. I was going slow and counting the woodcock on the edge of the road just outside the ditch. It was an ag field w natural cut grass to the road, overcast evening

We fixing to walk in to a slough 3/4 back. If I see one I will grab it unless Pearl grabs it first.
I have seen and have picked up rooster pheasants in Iowa and Kansas when it’s been bitterly cold
I wasn't doubting it, I just want to see it. I knew he'd be out in this crap.

Went to town and coming back peoples ponds had wild ducks in them. We drove next to an old oxbow river and had wild birds in it. Stopped at a buddy’s camp that has an acre pond to blast his but none were present 
. Going back before the camp I told Hb about the woodcock I seen and we start looking. Yup one here, one there. I was tempted to get out and catch one cause Dave want to see a cock in my hand w a pulse.

I thought it was the resident killdeer that have been in that field all season. Noticed they weren’t flushing and making the killdeer racket. Then I saw the beak and it was game on.
Should be a fun hunt tomorrow as long as they hang around.
Took two more snipe today. Couldn’t get the dogs to point them today. Will probably quit messing with the snipe, I don’t want the dogs to become conditioned that it’s okay to bust birds up.
Birds are very flighty bc they are all sitting in this short mowed stuff that is wet.
no pictures of the birds cuz I was on the turtle head express on a race home

Last weekend of woodcock down here. Finally got them back up here after the freeze. The woods were flooded but any thick cover that was out of the water had a bird on it.
Bo was the banner dog of the day. He had 3 solid points on solo birds. I only connected on 1.
Ellie pointed two birds but they flushed before I got within 75 yards. Not sure if she moved or if the bird got jumpy.
I took a snipe to get a comparison to the woodcock.

Took the dogs on a hike day between the rain. Ran into a good bit of woodcock we are sending back up your way.
The goal this offseason is have both dogs steady to flush and backing another dog on point.
