Popped over to the Scuppernong, and there is a patch that the WI DNR >BUTCHERED< about ten years ago, used to be about a square mile of popple and tags... The popples, redbush, and tags are returning... Anyways... inside the area, there are some drainage ditches with some recovering copses. Put up one bird and we put it down, it turned out to be just on the other side of a belt of brush. Right next to a section of a wide ditch...
Fired up the feather seeking guided Brittany attack Spaniel and launched her... Poor fix, brush was about 8 to 10 feet tall, so no good fix. Belle got to get some swimmin in, definately deep enough so she was free floating. We churned about on the edge of the ditch, things looked dim, but eventually Belle found the woodcock right at the water's edge.
