Chris McGrody, left, of Enfield, N.H., hunts pheasant with his son, Nate McGrody, 15, and their three-year-old black lab Huck at the Mascoma River Wildlife Management Area in Canaan, N.H., on Thursday, Oct. 14, 2021. This was Nate's first time hunting pheasant with his father, and though the pair didn't take home any birds, Chris was happy that Nate got to come out and see Huck in action.
