I voted lowland forest, because that's where we chase woodcock.

I've never hunted woodcock, but I can't wait to. I put "bog" as a potential choice for the doodle hunters. But lowland forest makes sense. I was thinking grouse when I put that choice in, but I suppose they do hang out in similar cover.

Woodcock travel along rivers. They fly at night. The best woodcock cover is forest along a river with an open field/hay field along the forest edge. The birds will eat worms at night in the field and hide in the cover during the day until they resume their migration.

I guess I spoke of my experience. Didn't mean to say that's the only place you can find them.

I'm just glad that we're still finding them in those places.
