Neck, thats a hell of a doe. 140 lbs dressed!! WOW.

I am not sure what part of the state you are hunting, but if you are seeing a few deer you should not be sad. Central and western MA lost deer the past two winters so I think the herd is down quite a bit. MA deer hunting isn't like PA or NY. We simply don't have the numbers unless you get a nice section of private land to use for yourself. Even then, it has to be the right zone and situation.

I hunted close to eight days this year, saw NO deer. Last year was six days and two deer. Granted I hunt low density zone to get some privacy, but you get the picture. I have hunted MA for 17 seasons and rarely see "alot" of deer during shotgun season.
