I am heading up to Walton for a few days next week. Throwing my shotgun in for the trip. Does anyone know any local spots worth trying to shoot a few rabbits or anything else? Will be 3 or 4 of us. Don’t have a dog just looking for a good time.

I just returned from the area this afternoon. Was grouse and rabbit hunting with a few friends. We hunted  my place, kicked up a few rabbits and grouse. We only shot one bird but it was a lot of fun. Cold and windy weather is not the best for small game hunting though.

You might want to look at Bear Spring Mountain Park. There are a few overgrown apple orchards off East Trout Brook Road. I've seen a few guys there over the years with bird dogs while passing through. The state has also clear cut areas to promote vegetation growth for small game cover. There is also New York  City land around the Pepacton and Cannonsville Reservoirs, but I think you need a permit to hunt ? 

The weather forecast looks better next week

How'd it go?
