More than likely not. Woodcock like overhead cover. A pasture is too wide open. Snipe and other shore type birds hit those places. We see snipe and doowitchers in our wet winter fields at the farm. Rarely see woodcock at the farm and if we do they’re in the young hardwoods with wet ground. I’ve been hunting them since the mid 80s and never killed them in a wide open area. In lowlight I do see them flying old roads and buzzing into young pine thickets. They’ll also hold near puddles on logging roads in low light, kinda like night hawks do but without the red eyes.

When we hunt them in WI we hunt ground by the rivers and small hardwoods that you can barely swing a gun in. It’s a workout walking thru such areas.
