My hunting years began in the early 70's in CT. There were plenty of grouse, woodcock, rabbits, pheasants, ducks and even bobwhites, along the shore in the eastern parts of the state No turkeys and nowhere near the number of deer like today. The grouse started disappearing when the turkeys were introduced in the mid 80's, no there are almost none and nothing being done about bringing them back. Most of the wild pheasants are gone too. Rabbits have been very low since the 90's. Still lots of wood cock if you know where to look and plenty of deer and turkeys. Still lots of ducks but all the inland hunting is crowded and I just cant bring myself to eat the ducks shot in long island sound. I have to travel to the northern parts of VT and NH or Maine to get grouse, which I do as often as I can
