    Mass. Bow season starts the first Monday of November and runs 
    three weeks. Depending on whether the first Monday falls
    before or after the first Thursday, the season sometimes runs
    through Thanksgiving. Shotgun season starts the Monday after 
    Thanksgiving.
    
    This year - 
    
    Bow - November 4-23
    Shotgun Dec 2-11
    Muzzleloader Dec 16-18
