Hunted Beartown as well. I have never seen as little sign out there. There are more deer here on the coast!! Heard a few odd shots is all. Should have stayed home and hunted here.
The scary part is ten years ago you had to reserve a hotel room. Now the hotels are all empty. Sad days in western MA!!
Maybe the state ought to cut back big time on Z3 doe permits. Not enough deer to warrant killing does and they gave out quite a few.
