50 years ago, small towns and farms were what one would see in putnam county, ny...lots of grouse, cotton tails and stocked pheasants...then the turkeys showed up...and then came the coyotes and more people, living in suburban type housing...by 2000, small game was mostly gone...and so was I...refuged north to NH...sadly, found a similar situation up here....became have shotgun will travel migrant...found birds in upper mid west and far west...never ventured to Canada with shotgun...
