Preserves Extend Wingshooting Season
With wingshooting seasons closing across the country, we remind hunters that many game-bird preserves remain open through March, offering opportunities for a late-season day afield. Hunting on a preserve is an excellent way to introduce a newcomer to wingshooting or to enjoy a hunt with friends. Many species of hard-flying birds can be found at preserves, and many preserves allow you to bring your own bird dog.
