Here are the USFWS results from a dozen woodcock wings they requested I send in last year. Mostly male birds but all but two were adult birds - which was interesting. Larger results showed they estimate less than 100 woodcock hunters in TX with less than 1000 birds taken annually. (Contrast that with Michigan's 35,000 hunters and over 100,000 birds taken). I don't think we Texans are hurting the population.  I'll be participating in this study every year. 
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

How do they eat? I've heard everything from horrible to sublime.

Pretty cool. I Hope D gets to be a part of the study next season with you.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

Michigan's total probably includes grouse hunters.
Quail hunting is like walking into, and out of a beautiful painting all day long. Gene Hill ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/usergals/2017/07/full-3669-105539-full_16668_105507_image.jpg)

Michigan has like 6 million more acres of public land than Texas. I'm sure that has something to do with it.
