Seth Maddox will head out in February with other Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) Division biologists to do some woodcock hunting. Yes, that is after the woodcock hunting season closed on Jan. 31, but Maddox will not be using a conventional harvest tool. He will be wielding a long-handled dip net.
Maddox, the WFF migratory gamebird coordinator, will be on a mission to continue a woodcock tagging program to determine migration routes as well as conduct genetic studies on the birds, also known as timberdoodles.
