Thanks for all your help fellas, I'll be calling the DEP today and seeing what I can gather for more info. I'm actually wondering for turkey season, although the info. on bowhunting was also helpful, I actually got my IBEP bowhunters course a few years back when I was in Virginia.

The bottom line is that the turkey situation is in sad shape in SE Mass. where I hunt, I went out yesterday on opening day, heard one tom and set up on him, two other guys converged on him from the other sides and wouldn't shut up with thier box calls while he was in roost, that seems to be the story around here. Seems that there are 5 hunters to every tom you find, IF you can find a vocal tom, the last 3 seasons it has been absolutely terrible. The first three that it was opened here it was outstanding and I had great success. For some reason it appears to me, IMHO, that the birds are not re-populating like they should. Gonna try CT and see what I can come up with.
