Whoa him and teach him to honor on every opportunity. It's a start.

Good advice. If he is already doing a respectable job pointing quail, I suspect that once he gets a nose full of a woodcock and figures out you are hunting them, he will start pointing them as well. Based on my dogs, the woodcock is a relatively easy bird for a dog to smell. If he is intentionally taking them out, I would be more concerned. If that is what he is doing, work him on pigeons in launchers that he approaches perpendicular to the wind. He should point when he makes scent. If he advances into the scent cone toward the bird, launch the bird and move on to the next one and remain silent. When he is pointing and holding, and allowing you to flush, kill the bird for him and let him get it in his mouth. There are different schools of thought about launchers vs wild birds. The bottom line for me is nothing teaches a dog to handle wild birds like wild birds. However when wild birds are not readily available, you can make progress with launchers.

Thanks for all the advice, I got to build me a pigeon pen.
Hopefully he will come around next year on the woodcock, we had a hard freeze in early January , the most woodcock I have ever seen, maybe they will be back next year. Thanks again. Forrest

Good luck with it Drathaar. If you build a pigeon coop, my advice is to build it with a divider so you can put homing pigeons in one side. They can be reused daily. The other side is to contain the expendables......

Thanks, my old loft I had my breeders in one side,( don't fly my breeders ) young birds on the other side. Forrest
