Been hunting Sommerset Res in Vt. I don't do any Ma. Lots of sign, especially moose, I'll have to put in for a permit next year. I havn't hunted Ma in about 10 years, can't deal w/ the whole shotgun and no hunting on Sunday thing. Mabe one year I'll break down and get a nice bolt action shotgun w/ rifled barrel & scope and start doing Ma, but for now I'm happy w/ Vt.
