RE: Quabbin Deer Hunt
I got pulled for Hardwick which is open for Dec. 1st and 2nd. Went in both scouting days and saw lots of tracks but they were old, snow had partially filled them in. Right before the 1 pm deadline on Sunday I found a spot with rubs, scrapes, fresh droppings and fresh tracks like you wouldn't believe.
I never hunted Prescott but my dad did a couple times and he always hunted the southern most tip of the peninsula. The last time he was in there he shot a nice 8-point that he got mounted. The last time he was in Hardwick he shot a nice 8-point too.
TJ, the Quabbin Deer Hunt is a deer hunt put on by the Mass. Dept. Conservation and Recreation to manage the deer herd in the Quabbin Reservior. Other than the days it is open to deer hunting, it is shut down except for fishing and people take their nature walks there.
