Western MA Hunter

So, How did all of my MA hunting counterparts make out this season? Any luck since the last posts last month?

Well aside from Massseawolves record and law breaking year of 3 bucks in Ma I haven't heard much else.

Most everyone I know got deer in N.H. and M.E. just north of you. There weren't a ton of deer around but it seems everyone got quality opportunities and scored.

I HAD A BAD YEAR SEEN ONE BIG BUCK OUT OF BOW RANGE,, BUT THATS WHAT HUNTINGS ALL ABOUT NOBODY SAID ITS EASY , BUT I HAVE A CHANCE TO SCORE ON THE NANTUCKET HUNT IN FEB. THEY SAY 40 TO 60 DEER PER SQ.MILE YOU CAN TAKE UP TO 5 DOE AND 1 BUCK . IWAS TALKING TOA GUY ON THE ISLAND AND HE SEEN SOME DEER STILL WITH THEIR ANTLERS, BUT ITS A HARD ISLAND TO HUNT DO TO THE THICK SCRUB OAKS , ILL KEPT YOU UPDATED ON HOW I DO WHEN I COME BACK THE10TH.

Nothing doing here in MA...had a number of chances, but it was just one of those years. Got a doe in Maine in November. Guys at the website in my signature did well in MA....

Had a pretty good season, nice 7 pt. during bow, filled a doe tag during shotgun, and shot a 6 pt. during shotgun also, that meat should hold us out until spring.............along with the two antelope I got in MT, maybe until summer.

I took a 4 pointer w/ the shotgun opening day after giving a doe a haircut. I didn't get anything w/ the bow or the muzzleloader.
I took a doe in IL w/ the bow too.

You either have a big family or you only eat the tenderloin.

Not too big a family...me, the wife, and two little ones. Once the deer go down we don't buy any cow from the store, I utilize everything I can from the deer, cut them all up myself. Grind the scraps into burger, etc., we love venison and any other meat from the land.

I also give an amount about equal to one deer away to the two landowners I hunt on and friends that request meat, so nothing goes to waste.
