Other than ducks and geese, what's your favorite bird to hunt?

woodcock

Where are you hunting them, Brett?

 

[BBW]

i have only ever shot them in England but i have seen quite a few around where i hunt deer not 100% on whether i can shoot them or not im waiting for the guide to check on that

not 100% on whether i can shoot them or not im waiting for the guide to check on that

I'm almost 100% sure that's a "no"... you're sure you're not flushing snipe (which ARE legal)?

 

[BBW]

i have never flushed snipe in thick bush and am almost certain they are woodcock but you know how they flush just a flash of brown and they're gone

 

[topcat3820]

just a flash of brown

That's usually what happens when I flush them and they scare the s_ _t out of me ... it's more like a "cloud of brown", though :roll: .

You're not thinking of grouse or partridge or the like? They fly up all over when I walk the trails where I deer hunt and they have a way of startling you.

Woodcock have scared the bejeepers out of me more times than I'm proud of.

Was that directed at me or Brett, just to carify :? ?

Ruffies for sure!!! Best tasting chicken out there!!!

 

[terrym]

Ruffed grouse is the one for me. Woodcock are fun and great training birds for my Britt but a ruffy is always a prize when shot on the wing over a pointer.

 

[snortwheez]

Wild Turkeys!!!!

 

[204Waterfowler]
