Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, New York /

It’s a heart-stopping experience that avid bird hunters never tire of.
You’re stomping through the brush behind your faithful dog as it eagerly unravels a fresh scent, while you tighten the grip on your shotgun in anticipation. Then, the moment of truth arrives.
