A whirring sound caught Aaron's attention on the wooded trail. A bird flew up. He fired once, followed it 180° and fired again bringing down what he believed to be his first grouse.
Upon retrieval, he found his first bird bagged was a woodcock.Though the woodcock is much smaller than the ruffed grouse, both birds' wings create a similar takeoff sound. And fortunately, both birds were "in season" when Aaron, Dan and Moose flushed numerous birds and brought home two for this year's Wild Game Stew. Happy Hunter!
