796.0. "Hunting in Massachussetts (?)" by SALEM::SUAU () Tue Oct 09 1990 14:17

    I just moved up from Puerto Rico and would like some orientation
    on hunting areas in Massachussets. I live in the Concord area.
    
    At the moment I am mostly interested in ducks, geese, & pheseants.
    But would also like to know deer hunting.
    
    I have gone to the local Town clerk & police station , but was only
    given two small brochures that have some regulations & hunting dates.
    
    Were could I get some additional , more practical information on
    hunting birds & deer ??
    
    I work out of TWO and maybe could meet with some of you at lunch time
    or after hours.  My node is SALEM:SUAU or TRAKEN::SUAU , dtn247-2064.

796.1Hey, yea you, I got a question...;-)FSOA::EPETERSENTue Oct 09 1990 19:1312
    Try to get familiar with the area you'd like to hunt (after you've
    figured out what you'd like to hunt for).  Look for other hunters in 
    the area and talk to them.  Ride around and check out a few of the
    WMA's and talk to the people hunting around them.  
    
    New Englanders aren't always the first to strike up a conversation,
    but when you start asking about hunting I find that once you ask a 
    question it's hard to get them to shut up... ;-)   (myself included)
    
    good luck, and don't be shy, walk right up and ask!

    Welcome to the area and this notes file.
    
    On the game regulations you got you should find the address and/or
    phone number of the district headquarter.  I believe for your
    area it is located in Acton.  The overall headquarters I think are
    in Westboro.  I suggest you go pay them a visit.  They can tell
    you were they stock pheasants and where the WMAs are located close
    to you.  I would do that ASAP before the season gets in full swing.
    
    The spend as much time as you can getting familiar with those areas
    and strike up conversations with other hunters there.
    
    good luck,
    mark

    ref the 1st 2 notes good advise. there are some TOWNS CLOSED to HUNTING
    and these District Wildlife Offices should  have a reasonably currant
    list of the Towns Closed to or restricted regulations on Hunting, make
    that your first stop. Good Luck!

                         -< Leominster state Forrest >-


	Is this State forrest open for hunting?  Anyone have any
	experience or suggestions?  I see "Hunting Area" signs
	posted along the road on what must be the South portion
	of the forrest.  I've called the published phone number,
	but no answers.

	Thanks,

	George
