Saw another 9 woodcock on Friday I shot 5, 3 were unsafe to shot and I missed the other. They all broke out to me the other 2 boys didn't get a shot at any. But I put that down to the dog she's working really well this year.

I didn't go to our shoot yesterday because I went to the Ireland new Zealand game but they saw 15 woodcock.

edited to add - all the above on the massive assumption that you are irish and not a kiwi.
