I'll be near Manchester, UK for a couple weeks in November, to do a bit of work.

I'd REALLY like to have the opportunity to shoot some woodcock while I'm in UK. Maybe come in early or stay after my assignment is complete.

American woodcock are my favorite bird to hunt, but while it's relatively easy to find ways to shoot birds here, I'm strugglin' to find a way to do so anywhere in England, Wales, or Scotland.

There doesn't seem to be the same 'hunting guide' concept and all the shoots I can find require larger groups of guns.

Does anyone have any advice?

To make it even more of a challenge, I'd prefer to borrow/rent a gun - a hammergun, ideally, instead of attempt to bring my stuff across.

Thanks!
