I was reading the local paper saturday 6/17 (Worcester Telegram and Gazette) the writer made mention the deer season would remain the same but seemed to have the dates all screwed up . He also said rifled barrels could be used beginning in '90 . Does anyone know of he proposed changes in the Mass. deer seasons ? Thanks Ed Mills

The shotgun season will remain as is - starts the Monday after Thanksgiving. *Muzzleloaders* will be allowed the use of rifled caplocks starting *this year* from our local paper a few days back Dana | |||||

Did I read in Mass. Fins/Feathers that there might be a special hunt this year or next in the Quabbin area? It seems that people are getting concerned about the over grazing problem there. CP | |||||

They are considering opening Quabbin to hunting due to the excessive numbers of deer there. It has gotten to the point where excessive browsing is hurting the undergrowth of the forests, which is considered bad for water quality. At long last, the MDC is starting to realize that game biologists know what they're talking about. Some controversy will no doubt arise - typical anti-hunter BS, fear of littering/pollution, 'key club member' opposition. Also, a lot of hunters currently hunt the perimeter of the reservation, and might oppose the changes. (I don't understand this last - seems hunters *in* the reservation would push some deer *out* - I'm getting this from a local newspaper column.) This probably won't go through for 1989, but 1990, who knows. Me, I'll stay away. I did my time in the rte. 202 'war zone', too many pinheads. Dana |
