Default Woodcock

The decline of the Woodcock population in the North East has been noted by many sportsman I have spoken with over the last few years. I personally, like many members, love to hunt them. It is very concerning to me to know that someone out there needs or feels they have a right to kill 50 or so of these wonderful birds. I certainly hope that others here feel the same. I am sorry but this just hit a nerve and felt I had to say something.

I agree completely with you Marty and unfortunately it's more than just woodcock too...
