I can't imagine the woodcock being done yet, but I haven't seen one all...

As long as he's not chasing any fur... at that age, he'll point everything... Just ignore it cuz it's not something to praise and just keep getting him on birds... Heck, my dog even points my mother in law at the back door... (Not a bad thing as far as a little heads up goes...)
