It usually depends on the EPO, the demeanor of the hunter and whether or not they stick around. Could result in a charge of negligence, $50 fine, loss of hunting license for 1 year, or worst case scenario arrest and confiscation of weapons and vehicle. Many people in MA don't realize any violation of MGL's or CMR's is an arrestable offence. If you cannot correctly identify your target in the forest, you shouldn't be out hunting. It is people like this whogive the rest ofus hunters a bad rap in the public eye. It leads to them fearing to be shot at or have thier dog, horse or goats shot.
