Harold: Back in colonial times the border between NY and PA was the 42nd parallel---most of current western NY was part of PA----I would be happy if PA reclaimed us. The bird species that has really declined in the last 50 years is the ringed neck pheasant. Before 1970 our pheasant hunting was excellent, modern farming changed the landscape and predators cleaned up. But today we have 1/2 million snows and turkeys that were non-existent in 1970---so not so bad but I do travel to North Dakota to get my fill of pheasant hunting. Life is good in our modern world---we are able to travel with ease to many great hunting grounds---thank God we live in the USA.
