NEWTOWN, Conn. - Looking for a place to hunt? Don't jump in your truck — jump online instead.

"Using the Internet to find hunting places is the 21st century version of driving country roads, knocking on farmhouse doors and asking permission," said Doug Painter, president of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF).

For bird hunters, NSSF launched WingshootingUSA.org, a free online directory of places to hunt. The site links to over 1,000 daily-fee preserves, another modern solution for busy hunters seeking an easy way to stay in the game.

Painter says today's wingshooting preserves offer convenient access, managed habitat, stylish dogs and classic gunning, close to home or across the country, with packages to fit all budgets and tastes.

"From a simple afternoon outing with your dad, to a couples weekend at a luxury resort destination, a great hunt today is really just a few clicks away," he said.

NSSF is the nonprofit trade association for the shooting, hunting and outdoor industry. Founded in 1961, it administers a variety of industry-service programs, with an emphasis on keeping hunters and shooters safe and active.
