Awoke this morning to a chill in the air, heavy clouds and on and off showers. One would have to be crazy to leave a nice warm bed on a day like today. But its October and crazy pretty much sums up a woodcock hunter eh? Plenty of contacts but the birds both grouse and woodcock seemed to have buried themselves in the heavy cover to keep out of the rain. On top of that held super tight having to dig the out.
Connected with a few , and of course the sun came out at the end of the day for the picture shot.
