RE: hunting in new england
 

ejalois,

According to the Mass Wildlife website ...

Not too far from you to theeast should be the Harold Parker State Forest in North Andover. It's 3,000 acres so even if popular there might be some room to hunt.

There is also the Boxford State Forest not too far from you, too.
