Glad the season is finally in, the shorthairs did work again today and pointed over a dozen in less than an hour. Cover was thick but I finally managed to scratch out the third one.

Good work
Nice
Sweet. I'm going after them in the am.
Awesome.... Probably what I'm doing in the AM.

Got home and took them out of my vest to clean them, when I walked back in the room I found the puppy I kept out of the litter trying her best to get inside the vest.

Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Do you find these around swampy areas in thick cover? Someone please teach me.

You sir are stupid. Woodcock hunting is what the newbies are turning to. There are not enough to go around. pics like this you will regret posting.
Every Tom, Dick, and Harry is buying a German short Hair as we speak, trying to make it the Swiss army knife of the dog world.

Looks like a hen and two cock birds?
Back when there was a longer season, we used to have a split with a short November season then a later December/January season.
The November birds always seemed like the super-big females while the later birds were always the quail-sized males. The old rule of thumb was that the hen's bill was longer than a dollar bill is wide and a cock's bill is shorter.

And I'll have to say you calling the shorthair a "Swiss army knife of the dog world" is pretty damn spot on. Mine have made perfect family/house dogs, found dead deer, ran the piss out of deer & rabbits, retrieved doves and ducks, pointed quail/WOODCOCK, and on one occasion treed the shit out of a coon.

Good killin! I took the Llewellins out Thursday and got in a couple. More working with the young dog than anything. Will be after them, and probably some quail, a couple more times this week.

Couldn't agree more. Most folks don't have a clue when, where or how to hunt them but post one picture and they're sending texts, PM's or just asking how to do it....as noted on here, no offense intended MolliesMaster.
My sons and I ran into a newbie "purist" on opening day. Said he'd been hunting woodcock for 2 1/2 years. Wow, 2 1/2 years! Like ducks, I've been hunting them since the 70's and I'm not even 50 yet. He looked awful dapper in his Filson or LL Bean gear with his blaze orange wearing, bell ringing, e-collared German Shorthair. It would have broken his heart if we told him we shot 2 limits over my yellow lab prior to him potlicking the area we had just hunted.
Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.
