Dear friends, the woodcock season is about to start! That’s why i will give you some useful information!
Weapons:
The most frequently used guns have barrels ranging from 60 to 66 cm. long. Wider chokes are used (|||||, ||||) as well as rifled barrels which give the bird shot a rotating motion allowing for better coverage of the target and a higher chance of hitting it. The shot itself must be intuitive. The rounds should range between № 7 and № 11; lately combined rounds are № 7/8, № 8/9 №9/10, because the heavier pellets push the lighter ones giving the hunter a wider spread. The woodcock is a small and fragile bird and a small number of pellets can hit it.
Accessories:
The beepers, satellite tracking devices for the dogs, high visibility vests and collars for the dogs, high visibility gear for the hunter (vest, hat, bands), high boots, light clothes made from breathable fabric.
