There is also one that area that is a "Cat and Coon Club", but I cant remember the whole name of it.

Thank you. When I looked up Ed Noonan, I see he recently published an article about the effort to reinstate dove hunting in NY. However, I am not a paid subscriber to the newspaper and cannot access the entire article. I was wondering if you had the article, I believe it was on October 8?

Thanks all, we are reaching out to all the leads you provided!

If you are doing Albany and Schenectady, you might want to add Montgomery, Fulton, and maybe even Saratoga to the list. 

Montgomery:

Tribes Hill Fish & Game Club - http://www.tribeshillfishandgame.org

The Recorder ( News paper, not sure who you need to contact there ) - http://www.recordernews.com

 

Fulton:

Pine Tree Rifle Club - http://www.pinetreerifleclub.com

Leader Herald - http://www.leaderherald.com

( Don't hunt that area any more so this is all I have, sorry )

 

Saratoga:

The Saratogian - http://www.saratogian.com

Saratoga Springs Rod & Gun Club - http://sarasparodandgun.org/pages/saraspa

 

 

These are just the few I know of/remember.

For Fulton Co. there is also the Ephratah Rod and Gun Club. I think there is also one up by Caroga Lake.

Sorry, but I do not have it. I did read the article, as I buy the Gazette on Thursday's just for Ed's weekly write up.
