First Woodcock Siting

Was in Teauge at the farm this weekend and saw our first woodcock of the season. GSP Amos locked up on him and I was blown away he was there so early. Such a cool bird.

They are coming in early at my place this year too compared to past years. Can't wait for the season!

Are they any good to eat? White or dark meat?

They are migratory, so breast is dark meat. To me they are just like a big dove as far as table fare.
