I am in West/central mass, one town east of Springfield. Bucks have been moving pretty good here. I shot a nice 6 point opening day. I have only been out a couple of times since but have seen a couple does and a button buck a few times. My buddies have had a couple of close encounters with bucks this last week despite the warm temps.

A good buddy of mine shot a 215 pound 9 point last year that scored mid 160's on this property. A guy saw him drag it out. He somehow got access to a neighboring property and cut my buddy off from where the deer usually came from. His son shot a 200+ pound 10 point that will score in the 150's last saturday from there. My buddy is bummed to say the least. They are around, just gotta work for em in this warm weather. I will be out Fri and Sat.
