Kuneytown Sportsmen's Club and its partners will once again host combat-wounded veterans to enjoy an unparalleled hunting experience in the Finger Lakes region of New York. We will work with the Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation Inc. (WWIA), who serve our Nation's combat wounded Purple Heart recipients by providing world-class outdoor sporting activities as a means to recognize and honor their sacrifice, encourage independence and connections with communities, and promote healing and wellness through camaraderie and a shared passion for the outdoors.

Haven't heard of WWIA or want to learn more? See this video.

For the fourth year in a row, we will host 5 warriors in excellent waterfront accommodations, provide them with first-class meals, and most importantly, introduce them to waterfowl hunting in and around the Montezuma Wildlife Refuge and the Cayuga Lake watershed, a world class waterfowling destination. Our guests will also enjoy cross-bow hunting for the legendary farm bucks of upstate NY and the former Seneca Army Depot. The 5 day event overlaps with Veterans Day and culminates with a celebration dinner for the heroes, held at Kuneytown Sportsmen's Club. Don't miss this event!

Results from the January 22, 2017 Gray squirrel hunt

The first squirrel hunt of the season went well. The day started off foggy and it got very warm for January with temperatures getting into the fifties. This may have caused the squirrels to sleep in as most of the action was reported to be in the early afternoon.

Six teams entered a total of 22 squirrels with 16 head shots and 6 body shot. The following are the results:

First Place went to the team of Brian Barclay and Tyler Wodard with six squirrels (5 head shot and one body shot)  for a total of 11 points.

Second Place went to the team of Eric Riegel and Tom Grasek with six squirrels (4 head shot two body shot) for a total of 10 points.

Third Place went to the team of Dale and Luke Allen with four squirrels (all head shot) for a total of 8 points.
