Podcasts about Woodcock

Orvis-endorsed guide Michael Browning of Grouse Haven Wing-Shooting takes us into the Maine woods for a tutorial on all things ruffies and timberdoodles. From the birds' daily schedule to good habitat types, he's got decades of experience in the deep woods. Well, not so deep. That's one thing we'll learn about habitat. We also explore how to handle our dogs in the forest, being a good guide client, bird behavior, finding public ground, and get a few dog-training insights. "Fix It" reminds us of another important date for walk-in hunters, and listeners share their "lightbulb people" ... the ones who started their bird-hunting adventure and why. And it's all brought to you by: Mid Valley Clays and Shooting School, CableGangz, TrulockChokes, Pointer shotguns, USA Clay Target League, Purina Pro Plan Sport and FindBirdHuntingSpots.com.

In this episode of Birdshot Podcast, Nick sits down with Keith Marcott to talk about woodcock hunting, bird travel, and a lifetime spent chasing upland birds across North America and overseas. Keith shares stories from hunting woodcock in New Brunswick, Quebec, and Scotland, along with memories from Wyoming, the western bird country, and the years before GPS and OnX made it easier to find cover.Keith Marcott is a retired engineer and lifelong upland hunter now based in Wyoming. After growing up bird hunting in the Northeast, he eventually built a life around western birds — Huns, chukar, sharptails, prairie grouse, and mountain hunts with Llewellin setters. Some of his most meaningful bird hunting memories, though, came from repeated trips into New Brunswick and Quebec, and later to Scotland, where woodcock hunting shaped the way he thinks about dogs, habitat, and travel.In this conversation, Keith and Nick talk about:- Woodcock hunting in New Brunswick, Quebec, and Scotland- What separates woodcock hunting from grouse hunting- How hunters found productive cover before GPS and OnX- Bird hunting travel, border crossings, and old-school camp logistics- Western bird hunting, dogs, landscapes, and the pull of woodcock countryEpisode breakdown:- [00:05:02] Keith Marcott's background and a lifetime of bird hunting- [00:07:01] Moving west: Wyoming, huns, chukar, and prairie birds- [00:09:42] Keith's bird hunting road trip across multiple states- [00:11:07] Camping, snake country, and hunting dogs in the West- [00:13:00] Snake avoidance training and a rattlesnake encounter in the field- [00:19:20] Western hunters, ticks, and the difference between regions- [00:27:07] The first New Brunswick woodcock trip- [00:29:27] Hunting with guide Danny Bird and chasing woodcock full-time- [00:36:47] Repeated trips into Canada and DIY hunting in Quebec- [00:42:05] Alaska, British Columbia, and border-crossing logistics with dogs and guns- [00:48:01] Finding woodcock cover before modern mapping technology- [00:49:27] Why woodcock still matter to a western bird hunterLinks:- Birdshot Podcast: https://birdshotpodcast.com- Instagram: https://instagram.com/hwy22outdoors/- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/17EVUDJPwR2iJggzhLYil7- Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/birdshot-podcast/id1288308609- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@birdshot.podcastSupport:- Use promo code BSP20 to save 20% on your onX Hunt subscription: https://onxmaps.com/hunt/app- Use promo code BSP10 to save 10% at Meadow Creek Mounts: https://meadowcreekmounts.com/Birdshot is presented by onX Hunt.

In this episode, Marcus Rosten shares his involvement in a study of the American Woodcock with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The study revealed the surprising journeys of one of North America's quirkiest birds. One woodcock caught near Buffalo flew nearly 400 miles south without stopping, en route to spend the winter in North Carolina. Migrations like the woodcocks' help connect people all over the continent and highlight the importance of making sure these birds can find safe places to live throughout their range.

Tony Woodcock was one of Jon Holmes' earliest clients, a superb player who scored 139 goals in 437 appearances for Nottingham Forest, FC Koln and Arsenal besides the 16 goals scored in 42 appearances for England. This record compares favourably with Jon and Colin Shindler's combined contribution of no goals at all at professional level.  It is therefore entirely appropriate that we leave the discussion on the art of goalscoring and how it has changed in the past forty years entirely to Tony.  Along the way we get his insight into the weird and wonderful art of management as practised by Brian Clough and a detailed description of what happened when Tony was transferred to FC Koln much to the displeasure of Mr Clough.  We also learn what happened when Tony took a DNA test to discover where his skill as a professional footballer might have come from. The results were surprising, even to Tony. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Send us Fan MailA spring bear bait run can feel routine… until a sow comes in hard and closes the distance to two feet. We're joined by New Brunswick hunter, guide, and podcaster Wesley Thebeau for a wide-ranging talk that moves from traditional archery fundamentals to the real workload behind running a bear outfitting camp, plus the bird dog obsession that takes over every fall.Wesley explains how he got hooked on trad bow hunting, why “trad bow close” is a non-negotiable standard for many hunters, and how he sets baits to deliver true 10 to 15 yard shots. We dig into spring bear hunting strategy, tracking decisions, and why spring can outperform fall when natural food is everywhere. Then we get the backstory on March and Milco and how an unexpected partnership forms with NHL star Brad Marchand, including what it's like to watch a world-class athlete bring that same mindset to archery practice and camp life.From there we shift into upland hunting in New Brunswick, woodcock migration, thick clearcut cover, and what makes the region a legitimate destination for grouse and woodcock hunters. Wesley talks versatile hunting dogs like the Deutsch Drahthaar, why they demand year-round structure, and how fat biking groomed winter trails keeps both dogs and handlers ready. We round it out with wild game cooking, the carnivore diet discussion, and his push to improve the outdoor industry through United Guides and Outfitters of New Brunswick.If you enjoy spring bear hunting, traditional archery, bird dogs, woodcock hunting, and honest outfitting stories, hit subscribe, share this with a hunting buddy, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Check us out on Facebook  Hunts On Outfitting, or myself Ken Marr.

In this episode of Gamebird University, hosts James Callicutt and Mark McConnell sit down with Dr. Ben Jones, CEO of the Ruffed Grouse Society & American Woodcock Society, for a grounded, field-tested conversation about young-forest conservation in the South—and what it really takes to sustain ruffed grouse, American woodcock, and the people who care about them across the range. The crew explores how disturbance and interspersion drive habitat value, why woodcock routinely show up in unexpected cover, and how modern tools—GPS tracking, remote sensing, and on-the-ground monitoring—are reshaping our understanding of migration, wintering needs, and day-to-day behavior. They dig into practical management levers (from timber harvest to patch size and structure) and the realities of working forests where wildlife, landowners, and economics intersect. They also confront the messaging gap: how public perception can stall necessary habitat work, and why conservationists must reclaim the narrative from preservation-only mindsets with clear, science-forward communication. Along the way, they spotlight the rise of bird-dog culture, why trusting your dog is often the best lesson in ecology, and how woodcock hunting can be an inviting on-ramp for new hunters and future advocates. Listeners will come away with a crisp picture of what "young forest" actually means on the ground, how technology is sharpening management decisions, and why collaborative, working-lands conservation remains essential for upland birds—across seasons, ownerships, and communities.

What if patient access isn't just an operational problem—but a shared organizational belief system?In this episode of All Access Pass, host Chris Profeta, Senior Director of Research and Analytics at the Patient Access Collaborative, sits down with Austin Loomis, AVP of Ambulatory Access and Analytics, Mandy Newman, MAAL, Vice President of Ambulatory Operations, and Catherin Mims, MD, Vice President and Associate Chief Physician Executive for the Ambulatory Practice at OU Health. Together, they unpack a new evolution of the Patient Access Framework: a group-based assessment that captures how access is perceived across an entire organization.With more than 20 leaders—from finance and HR to physician chairs and executive leadership—participating in the assessment, OU Health gained a rare, enterprise-wide view of access. The conversation explores what happens when those perspectives align, where they diverge, and why those gaps often represent the greatest opportunities for system improvement. Along the way, the group reflects on why access blind spots persist, how shared language changes strategy, and what it means to truly measure access as an enterprise responsibility.Tune in to hear how group assessments can surface hidden friction, strengthen cross-departmental alignment, and turn access from a siloed function into a shared organizational priority—covering the evolution of the Patient Access Framework, the rationale behind group scoring, leadership alignment, organizational blind spots, and practical insights for system-level access improvement.Woodcock, E., Profeta, C.

Author (Building a Grouse Dog), trainer, breeder, grouse guide and avid hunter, Craig Doherty is uniquely qualified to help us navigate the woods. We'll cover what we can do to help young dogs on early hunts, the right mental approach to dog behaviors, and where grouse and woodcock live during hunting season in the northeast. We'll cover food sources, cover types and what makes up a good covert. Craig will share training and shooting advice, dog handling tips and how to introduce young dogs to the woods. "Fix It" has another item for your hunting season to-do list; listeners sound off on management of their states' walk-in programs - you might find a new destination for later this season!

Paul Newman and Robert Redford ride again with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, a film where outlaws rob trains, the soundtrack does acid, and everyone somehow looks like they've been airbrushed by God. Between the sepia intro and the bicycle ballet, we're wondering how a movie about running from the law manages to feel like a cologne commercial. Elise remembers it from when she was seven, Anthony gets lost somewhere between “Hole in the Wall” jokes and actual geography, and Nick treats the entire script like an HR violation waiting to happen. It's part Western, part buddy comedy, part fever dream about free cold air conditioning and dynamite etiquette. We debate whether crime really does pay, why Paul Newman was legally required to be hot, and how much dynamite is “too much” when you're opening a safe. Also: there's a guy named Woodcock, and that goes about how you'd expect. If you came here for film criticism, bless your heart. If you came to ruin Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head forever, well, saddle up. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064115/

Episode 387: On December 26, 2005, around 5:15 p.m., there was a gunfight outside the Foot Locker store on Yonge Street in downtown Toronto. Unfortunately, a fifteen-year-old girl named Jane Creba was shot and killed. She was an innocent bystander among hundreds of Boxing Day shoppers who were in the area at the time of the shooting. Sadly, she was caught in the middle of the gunfire and died from a single bullet that hit her in the back and pierced her aorta. In addition to Jane, six other people were injured in the shooting.

We're revisiting our episode on the brown-headed cowbird, and trust me, this one's a wild ride. Did you know cowbirds don't build their own nests, but instead lay their eggs in other birds' nests and let them do the parenting? Even birds that aren't even close in size will get stuck raising the chicks of a brown-headed cowbird. Hosts John Bates, Shannon Hackett, RJ Pole, and Amanda Pole talk about the Brown-headed Cowbird!Here are links to our social and YouTube pages, give us a follow: YouTube Instagram TikTok BlueSky

In today's episode, I'm joined by Whitney Woodcock, founder of Queen of Millions—a global community of over 200 women across 20+ countries who are learning, investing, and building confidence in the world of crypto. Whitney shares her journey from leaving engineering and a traditional career path to betting on herself, creating financial freedom, and building a movement that blends strategy, intuition, and empowerment. If you've ever craved more freedom or wondered how to get ahead of financial shifts, you don't want to miss this conversation.

Grouse, woodcock, training during the hunt, and a short history of Gordon Setters ... those are the topics in my conversation with Stephen Faust, pro grouse and woodcock guide, dog trainer and breeder, and avid hunter. We'll also cover a typical guide's day in the field, how we can be better guide clients, and dog training tips.  We'll track a woodcock's day - where it hangs, what it eats and even how professionals like Stephen tag chicks in the spring. We'll look at habitat and habits, and dog handling for these wily birds. Then, into the grouse woods for insights into some lesser-known prime food sources, cover types, and habitat needs from opening day to winter.  "Fix It" offers a useful web source for finding birds, and listeners (a lot of them) weigh in on "Do beeper collars scare birds?" You'll take something useful away from that discussion!

Brandon Boudreaux Forgives, Larry Woodcock Rages & Lori Vallow Daybell Denies Everything In this powerful episode, we break down the emotional gut-punch of the final victim impact statements delivered during Lori Vallow Daybell's Arizona sentencing. These weren't just routine courtroom formalities — they were raw, unfiltered moments of grief, fury, and shocking clarity from the very people whose lives Lori tried to erase. We begin with Larry Woodcock, grandfather of JJ Vallow, whose heartbreak and rage lit up the courtroom. His words weren't polished or rehearsed — they were the cry of a man who's lived every day haunted by the loss of a little boy he loved. Larry didn't hold back, calling Lori a “parasite,” a “murderess,” and demanding she face every ounce of accountability the law could throw at her. He didn't speak about pain — he made you feel it. Then we turn to Brandon Boudreaux, survivor of an attempted assassination linked to Lori and her brother Alex Cox. Brandon's statement was chilling in its composure. He described the fear of being hunted, the isolation of hiding with his kids, and the devastating fallout from being targeted by people he once considered family. And then, in a move that stunned the courtroom — he forgave her. Not for her, but for himself, his kids, his future. It was a moment of defiant healing in the shadow of horror. And finally — Lori Vallow herself. Representing herself in court, she addressed her victims and the court with a bizarre, rambling monologue. Denying guilt, painting herself as a misunderstood mother, invoking spiritual justifications, and offering not remorse — but martyrdom. Her words were not closure. They were a final attempt to control the story. This episode is a front-row seat to one of the most emotionally intense courtroom moments in recent true crime history.

At sunset, the male American Woodcock – a plump, robin-sized bird – walks slowly on short legs from the cover of the forest to a nearby clearing. After a few sharp calls, the woodcock takes flight. As he spirals upward, slim, stiff feathers at his wingtips create a curious twittering. At the apex of his flight, the woodcock circles, then descends in a slow spiral, putt-putting like a tiny car about to run out of gas. The woodcock's odd looks and sounds have earned him many colorful nicknames. The most memorable? Timberdoodle!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?
