RE: Public Land
1. I hunt pulic land in MA.
2.Any additional information on what is available would be great. While my state does well to give info on public access, habitat composition, and other general info. Additional info would be nice. (Approx DPSM figures, past figures,more specific harvest data,and otherresearch findings) 3. Info published by state agencies in print or online. Map reading and other "homework". Word of mouth.And off course, legwork. 4. Info is very good usually, but could be more. (See #2) |
RE: Public Land
I hunt public land in Ny and hopefully this winter in Nj the state run websites are pretty helpful, especally Nj, but as Jf5 says theres nothing like legwork.

[/align] Also. When deer are checked, other info is collected that is not published. Wether the deer was taken on public or private land. What town it was taken in. What times the deer where harvested. I would like to see all that info as well. Current harvest in Zone 11 is impressive. But how much of that is on puclic land with shotgun?? Again, I think MA does a great job with what we have, so I am not knocking them. But in a perfect world, I would love to see that additional data. Thanks again, JF5 |
RE: Public Land
ORIGINAL: jf5 Thanks MA Bowhunter. I have seen this data, and am happy that MA supplies it. Don't get me wrong, I think MA supplies good data. But, I still would like to see DPSM figures that the biologists estimate for DMZ's. Harvest info is great, but its very general. And with zones varying greatly in size and hunting pressure, its only a snapshot of the big picture. Also. When deer are checked, other info is collected that is not published.

Thanks again, JF5 [/align] [/align]Of course we all know that90% of Zone 11 deerare logged as coming fromRocky Gutter regardless of where they're actually taken. ;) No one wants to give up any info that might invite more hunters since good places to hunt are getting harder to find with each new development. Can't count how many times people say they took a deer there that have never even been to the place. :) [/align] [/align]I found some DPSM info on their site. You've probably read the same info but I figured I post it just in case. Talk about pinpoint accuracy. :) [/align] [/align]Population: 85,000 to 95,000 statewide. Densities range from about 10 per square mile in northwestern Massachusetts to 50 to 60 per square mile on Nantucket Island. [/align] [/align] |
