I do know what your saying living in Mass is just like where you are. Just hang in there last year I shot 8 deer by hanging in there my best year yet. Most of the deer I shot was where it was bearly legal distance away from houses. I don't hunt there by choice but thats our choice aroud here its that or nothing. Ya cant run out to the country after work and still get a hunt in. Just hang in there it will all come together for you. Good Luck Mike
