RE: Where are the MA deer hunters???
There are a few guys from Mass. on this site, but I see alot on New England Sportsman Network message board, I visit this one every now and then.
I hunt in zone 11, SE Mass., plenty of deer in the area, you' ve just got to look for it and find an area without too much pressure.
The buck sign in October in my areas was good, saw plenty of mast crop, rubs and scrapes. The first week of November was a bust based on the heat wave we had. The second week I saw some chasing activity, but also the scrapes were hit pretty hard. So far this week I haven' t seen much, but haven' t been able to get out but one morning before work, word is the bucks are going crazy right now, talking to other guys it appears the rut peaked a little later this year and it seems to be peaking this week.
Good luck out there!
