Last year I was driving to the barn early in the morning about sunup, there were 2 Woodcock by the water, I have never seen a Woodcock in Texas, the first time 1966, I hunted Woodcock was in South Woodstock, Vermont, with a group of old Yankee farmers, all of them used SXS 410s, I killed 3 the first morning after passing the first 2 or 3 because I didn't know what they were, they are tricky and fun to hunt.
Those old Vermont farmers were some weird ducks, I could tell some fun story's about hunting with them. Rio7
