Your choice depends on alot of factors. When is your father coming?? What states seasons does it coincide with, as the states firearms seasons vary. Are you looking at weekends only? States like MA are closed sunday while VT is open. Don' t forget too that he' d need an FID card to hunt in MA. Do you want to hunt shotgun, rifle or bow?

Putting that aside, MA offers some good deer hunting, and the pressure is spread out statewide now. VT takes more #' s of deer, but mostly smaler bucks. It also has higher pressure. NH has some good deer with some real big ones in the upper CT river valley.
