Ducks and geese usually get all the attention when it comes to migratory bird hunting in Arkansas, but woodcock provide additional wingshooting opportunities in The Natural State for hunters willing to bushwhack through thick cover and briars in search of these birds. The woodcock is revered by wingshooters in many other parts of the country, but few Arkansas hunters take advantage of the birds, which migrate through Arkansas in November and December. The action is fast and requires sharp shotgunning skills, but the rewards of watching good bird dogs and spending time in the woods make woodcock hunting worth a few missed shots.
