Grouse seems very limited indeed, based on what I've heard. Also, west nile virus is now affecting their population - according to reports. Not a good season for many. I dont disagree one bit! Just want to make sure he gets as many wild bird contacts as possible and increasing the odds of that...

Sounds like the migration is well underway. Recent reports of heavy numbers in Central Indiana AND Northern Lower Peninsula, Michigan? This is interesting. Enjoy them as they fly through!

I'm debating whether or not to make it up to the counties directly south and west of Lincoln County this weekend. I'm mostly targeting woodcock, but would like to expose my young pup to grouse. Any thoughts on whether or not the woodcock have migrated through the area? Is driving to this area...

Interesting. Have you had the opportunity to hunt woodcock this fall? If so, when and how were the numbers looking?

Thank you for sharing. Right on - hope you were able to connect with a few birds. Have yet to see much activity down here in SE WI. Keep us updated on your progress!

Hi. I'm located in southeast Wisconsin and wondering what you guys' thoughts are on the woodcock migration and its current status. So far, I'm not seeing many fly through, then a gain, many say the second half of October is richer with migrating birds than the first half. I've been monitoring...

Hello everyone. This is my first year hunting with my 7 month old pointer. I've been struggling to find woodcock for him with about 230 or so hours of venturing in decent woodcock habitat from early Sept through today. Within that time, we only found 1 woodcock in Cedarburg and that was about...

Hello, I'm located in Wisconsin and have a 5.5 month old pup that I want to get started on woodcock. I've been out to woodcock habitat in the area a number of times with no luck. To be frank, I'm not sure he truly knows what a woodcock is. With that said, it would be incredibly helpful if I had...

I had no idea that people actually read to their dogs. Looks like I'll be picking up a few kids' books asap to read to him while he chews on an antler. Sound advice - sometimes it's as simple as spending more time with him. Thank you.

Thank you guys so much for the responses. The little fellow is already fully potty trained and crate trained. He sleeps through the night and does not wake (or whine) until I wake him in the morning - around 6:45 - 7 AM. I personally choose not to allow him on the furniture or my bed for...

Hello, I picked up a pup on day 49 (7 weeks) and he's now 3 months old. Due to my busy work schedule, I've only been able to spend a few hours of quality time with him daily while other people tend to him throughout the day (and walk him). That said, I want to make sure that we're bonding...
