Europeans are as passionate about woodcock hunting as Americans. Even though their birds (Scolopax rusticola) a lot bigger, the way they Europeans hunt them is very similar to how we do things over here. Check out this video from Greece to see what I mean. There’s some cool shots of birds migrating in at night that you don’t want to miss.
And here’s a nice little video of a Euro Woodcock feeding in the snow. Beautiful bird:
Finally, here’s a good closeup of a Euro woodcock flushing over some English Pointers. I think this video is from Italy:
Beautiful footage. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. Glad you liked it.

Gregg – that is a great find. Really neat to see how it is done in Europe – not all that different. Great pointing style on those doges in the first video.
