Out of curiosity, does anyone on here hunt woodcock in Arkansas? I know they are listed in the AGFC's handbook and there is a specific season and bag limit for them but until this weekend I had never seen one.

I was at deer camp in the hills NW of Clinton and saw one flying at dusk. My buddy saw it too and confirmed it was a woodcock. He said he had seen two around the same area but a different time and they were sitting on the side of the dirt road. I'd always thought they'd be found more in the marshy, delta region of the state. Not that I need another thing to hunt, it still might be cool to go specifically after them.

I know this is almost three years late, but just joined and thot i would reply just in case.
I hunt woodcock regularly in Arkansas and find them mostly in Ouchita forest area, not in the marsh/delta regions you would suspect. Unfortunately in Arkansas our season seems a bit early and is interupted by opening of modern gun deer season. So, I find many more after season ends while quail hunting. Wish our seasons where a bit later.
