The
American Woodcock, a bird of young woodlands, is the other game bird that
I look for with my pointing dogs.
As it holds admirably good the pointing of the dog , that is why, when the
dog starts on his pointing dog carreer,
it is the American Woodcock that I look for first to let the dog do his
first pointing on a wild bird game.
We often find grouses and woodcocks together on the same woodlands. In November
the American Woodcock
becomes a rare bird in Québec. For the Woodcock, the latest pointing
in the season for Celtick was
November 12, 2008 with 2 pointings on 2 different birds. As for Ranger,
in his case,
the latest woodcock in season was on November 19, 2007 with 1 pointing. |
