I have reached out to Audubon NY to see if they are willing to take any action on this. In addition, if you wish to reach out to the DEC, my contact let me know that it is the Region 4 office....518-357-2355 or 607-652-7367. Feel free to leave a reasonable, non inflammatory comment on the Rod and Gun Club's FB page also. Not that it will matter to them, but at least they will hear dissenting voices to this barbaric practice.
Stella Miller "Conservation is sometimes perceived as stopping everything cold, as holding whooping cranes in higher esteem than people. It is up to science to spread the understanding that the choice is not between wild places or people, it is between a rich or an impoverished existence for Man."

The senseless shooting(competition type events ) of snowshoe hares needs to stop as well. Thanks Richard for the alert.
