A Flight of Woodcock

My friend Russell and I hunted the Shawnee Creek Covert with Emma yesterday and had a wonderful hunt. The birds were there and Emma was at the top of her game.  Three of her points resulted in double flushes with Russell and I both downing a bird on one of the points.






Russell was shooting  his grandfathers 16 gauge Model 12.
 
 
 
"The Twig"  the little Belgium 16 gauge hammergun did her job today.

After a season of mostly empty coverts the woodcock seem to be moving south.
It was a hunt that Russell and I will recall for years to come.
