At around noon on Saturday, officers, as well as the Great Barrington Fire and EMT, responded to a wooded area on Monument Valley Road for a report of a hunting incident.

First responders found Christopher Puntin, 44, of Pittsfield, had sustained a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

He, as well as two other adults and a juvenile, were participating in a youth turkey hunt.
