I think he was just making a point about there being so many wood cock in and he was looking forward to having a shot after the thaw. Light hearted banter.

Get off your moral high horse!:mad:

Woodcock are really easy to pluck and get oven ready,im not mad on the taste myself its very gamey but i know neighbours that love them so any i do get i do them up and give them to anyone that likes them i have never wasted any game bird i have shot.Im fairly sure 99% of hunters have the same mentality.

Feel sorry for them at the moment must be tough going on them,im seeing a lot of snipe on the sides of the road where its slightly thawed.Pity theres no way of feeding them like pheasants.:(

The last few days I've had a snipe feeding under a monkey puzzle tree in my front garden. It's facinating to watch them that close up and to see just how fast they work.
