A couple of woodcock from a high West Virginia valley.
This 20 gauge Sterlingworth has accounted for quite a few of these tidbits.
One of them was banded and carrying a gps transmitter.

Re: WV woodcock
It would be interesting if you report that band to get info about it's travels. Much like a waterfowl band. Please keep us posted, thanks for the pictures and congrats on the unique trophy bird. I'm not so sure I would'nt have that one mounted as is.
Owning a Fox is not a spectator sport.

Re: WV woodcock
Wow, that band and transmitter are something. What agency is doing the study on Woodcock?

Re: WV woodcock
The bander has been in contact with me. He placed both the band and the gps transmitter. The transmitter is only about a month old. I am returning it to the FWS biologist to be reused.
