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

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

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.

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.
