                    You will never know. goes all the way back to hunter gatherers.  Anything was fair game. Anything so as not to starve. 

Well $#!t, you'd starve to death trying to find a woodcock.   Might as well eat a woodpecker. 👍

They seem to be a lot more common in the New England states.  Not too hard to find at all, if you walk in the right kind of woods. And there is a lot more moist dirt there than here. In the 14 years I spent there, I don't recall ever seeing completely dry dirt.

Went out to a different spot this morning and hit them again. Just to darn much fun! I am going to try them one more time tomorrow, it’s the last day the season is open for them. We had a blast this morning, same as it was last Friday, worked just inside the draws around creek beds. Terrible picture but was in a bit of a hurry to get things loaded and head back towards the house.

Cool! I remember kicking up 2 or 3 of them as a kid. First one scared the devil out of me. I think that was the same trip my dog pointed 3 turkeys in a little patch of cemetery grass.

Seems they have a cult following at woodcockmigration.org . Here's a GPS track of 6 that were tagged in Canada.

I can't dance like I used to.
