1128.1	Hunting Preserve in Barre, Ma.	ELWOOD::HDFLH::VINCIULLA		`Wed Feb 12 1992 09:52`	19
	Greetings, There is a hunting preserve in Barre, Mass.. The size of the preserve is about 240 acres. The person who runs the preserve leases the land from the owner who lives on the property. 1st year membership there is an initiation fee of: $150.00 plus annual membership: $400.00 -------- $550.00 This preserve has an extended hunting season of which I do not know how long the season is. I have more info on this at home if you are interested I can post more information in another reply. Marc
1128.2	FYI.	BTOVT::REMILLARD_K		`Wed Feb 12 1992 10:18`	9
	Remember 240 acres is not a lot of woods, it works out to about .38 sq. miles. Of course if it has some amazing food sources on it, it's going to be a magnet for wildlife... Just FYI... Kevin
1128.3	Membership has its benefits	KAHALA::NELSON	Shorthairs	`Thu Feb 13 1992 11:18`	22
	The shooting preserve seasonin Mass. is Sept 15th - Mar 31st. I believe Conn. is the same, Rhode Island may be a bit longer. A minimum of 100 acres is required to be licensed by the state as a shooting preserve. Prices do not vary a whole lot. John Q Public walking in off the street should expect to spend about $20 / pheasant (usually a minumum of 6), $14-$16 / Chukar (usually a minumum of 6), and ~$6 - $8 / Quail (minimum of probably 15 - 25). The membership fees which you pay at the shooting preserves afford you a price break on your birds, preferred dates for your hunts, and usually price breaks on 'birds over' (i.e. if you buy a 12 bird pheasant hunt and shoot 14 the extra two are free or reduced price). Some membership fees include 'X' number of birds. Most membership fees include off-season access to the property for dog training or fishing (if fishing is offered). dave
