The
American Woodcock
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.
And with Bobcat Celtick my 3rd Griffon Korthals was on November
8, 2015 with 2 pointings on 2 different birds. |
