Singing-ground surveys of the American woodcock indicate that breeding populations have increased gradually over the past 7 years while production, as indicated by wing-collection surveys, has remained relatively stable. The woodcock harvest, meanwhile, has probably more than doubled during the past decade. This suggests that while woodcock are probably becoming more important to North American sportsmen, hunting mortality is still relatively unimportant.

The estimated continental woodcock harvest exceeded 1.5 million birds during the 1973-1974 hunting season. Wing-collection data for 1973-74 indicated that productivity increased during the previous spring by 15% rangewide, % in the Atlantic Region, and 21% in the Central Region. Daily and seasonal hunting success was also greater by 8.6% and 10.0% respectively. The 1974 breeding population index increased increased 6.5% rangewide, 2.4% in the Atlantic Region, and 10.0% in the Central Region. Indices from 1964-74 suggested a declining breeding population in the Central Region. Recoveries of 2,950 banded woodcock indicate the existence of two relatively distinct populations. More than 94% of the recoveries were made in the Region of banding.

Excerpt from Woodcock Status Report, 1975 During the past decade, the American woodcock (philohela minor) has become an increasingly popular game bird over most of its range (fig. State and Federal surveys show that more hunters are now taking advantage of the recreational Opportunity afforded by the woodcock. Woodcock harvests still rank well below waterfowl in terms of overall numbers, but in several northern States where woodcock harvest data are available, the ratio of woodcock to ducks harvested has narrowed to or less (table Thus, woodcock have advanced from a specialty game bird sought by a few ardent hunters to a broader based recreational resource pursued by many sportsmen. Owen (1976) estimated that wood cock provide between and million man-days of hunting recreation in the United States annually.
