How to Hunt the Eurasian Woodcock
- Walk field and wood edges slowly with a shotgun loaded with birdshot.
- A pointing or retrieving dog makes these birds much easier to find and recover.
- Expect the flush close to you, and swing through the bird as it rises.
- Learn the calls; birds often give their position away before you see them.
- Trophies: only max-difficulty animals can reach diamond. Check the trophy rating with binoculars, use in-class ammo and kill with one clean shot to pass the harvest check.
