| 6.1 | be polite and keep it clean | CSSE::PETERSEN | | Thu Sep 03 1987 10:08 | 12 |

Peter,
As far as approaching landowners I'd say I have had very good luck.
When you approach any landowner be as polite as you can, tell them
that you're not there to fill the sky with lead, but to get yourself
a deer, and you would appreciate their cooperation. If the landowner
seems a bit reluctant try offering a venison steak or two to him
if you do bag one. Politeness is the biggest key, along with leaving
the land the way you found it-clean.

| In reference to deer damage to orchards, I can attest that they
can do quite a bit of damage if there are too many of them. You
see, the deer like to eat the tips of the branches on the trees.
If a tree is left to the deer, it eventually will not produce any
decent fruit and will have nothing but small spear-like branches.
At the orchard that my mother and step-father have, we try to keep
the deer population down but not out. Of course, they are smart
enough to be able to ellude us quite effectively.
Crafty little beggers, those deer.

| 6.3 | PLACES TO HUNT DEER | ISWISS::MCFARLAND | | Wed Sep 23 1987 13:32 | 8 |

I AM LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HUNT DEER (BOW AND SHOTGUN) SOMEWHERE
BETWEEN CONCORD AND JUST EAST OF THE BIRKSHIRES. TRAVELING BETWEEN
D.E.C. SITES I NOTICED SEVERAL APPLE ORCHARDS
ALONG RT117 (I JUST STARTED WORKING IN MAYNARD). COULD ANYONE RECOMMEND
SPECIFIC AREAS INCLUDING NAMES OF PERSON(S) TO CONTACT IF PERMISSION
TO HUNT IS REQUIRED?

| 6.4 | here's a way to get permission | CSC32::WATERS | The Agony of Delete | Wed Sep 23 1987 14:02 | 13 |
| Here's a trick I learned on how to get permission to around small
towns. Worked pretty good. We did this in Missouri and Iowa.
Go to the area you wish to hunt before season, get there on a Staurday
and hang around the town. On Sunday morning go to the local church
services and be recognize as a vistor. After services most everyone
stops to say hello and to find out who you are. That's when you
make your pitch on trying to find land to hunt on.
One year we lined up 3 different locations to hunt, in one town,
by doing this.

of food & water...Easy access to all parts of the woods on dirt
roads....I've been hunting Groton for the past 5 years and have
seen some nice size deer come out of the woods....Can't wait till
opening day cause that's where you'll find me......Give the town
forest in Groton a shot.....
May your arrows fly straight and true....

| 6.6 | Bolton flats closed maybe? | LUDWIG::BING | | Wed Aug 30 1995 14:31 | 8 |

I was driving by the Bolton Flats WMA yesterday and my wife said she
saw a sign saying "No hunting allowed in Bolton". Does anyone have
any info on this? Is it something new? The WMA sign is still up on
110 so I'm wondering what's going on. It's going to be hard to hunt
the "Bolton" flats if hunting is banned in that town.
