Good info John. I'd heard about dogs that would point them but not retrieve them.
This is a bucket list item that is no where near the top of the list. I just want to walk a right of way in that area on a frosty morning with the Citori 20 over my shoulder and be able to say "heck yeah, I've been woodcock hunting".
I'm thinking load the Bigfoot and hit a couple Forest Service campgrounds, walk around in the morning, take a nap after lunch, build a fire and sip some bourbon. Real low key.
I forgot Grits was from LA. He could tell a story.
Grandpa used to walk us down his driveway to the "hole". Best I remember his story was a airplane missed the Claiborn bombing zone. I don't know, he had a lot of good stories.
Mom went to college in Nachitoches and pretty much put the fear in me about anything to do with Cane River. I'll leave it at that. But I do hear they have a nice Christmas celebration.
