RE: Bow Boxford State Forest
I do. Whaddya want to know?
I hunt there basically every day that I hunt. two years ago, I had deer moving by my stands seemingly every other day. Last year. basically nothing. This year seems to be developing like last year. Personally, I primarily attribute it to the fact that there are no acorns dropping (at least in areas that I hunt), unlike two years ago when acorns were raining down the first couple of weeks of the bow season. Apparently, the does are feeding elsewhere and I haven't found where or on what yet. Last year I was stubborn and stuck it out at my stands, this year I am moving stands around chasing sign that I see. It may also have something to do with the last 2 hard winters, but, I do not see a lot of support for that proposition on other boards or sites.
I walk in from my house, but there are normally a couple of guys who park on Middleton Rd. and walk in. Although, this year, I do not see them as regularly as the last 2 yrs.
