Re: [VFB] Wood Cock?

Not much meat on 'em either.  We used to just pop the breast out, bread it 
with our favorite recipe and pan fry it.  Tasted yummy!

My question is, are there any patterns out there that call for 
woodcock?  I was thinking the breast feathers would make awesome soft 
hackles, but are there patterns out there that use woodcock in them??
This is not wood duck...wood cock is a game bird(uplands??) brown in 
color and a long beak....i think its very wierd looking.

Thanks for all your help everyone!
