He shot it in Rutland, Zone 8, Central MA. When we checked it in they only had 10 deer checked all day... the warm weather kept a lot of guys out of the woods. Good luck to you

Things are going to cool down in a big way starting Saturday, soI am going to hit it hard all day. Good luck boys

I didn't even get out of my truck this morning. During bow season I didn't see another hunter. I expected to see some this morning but not the bunches that were just lining up and driving the deer to the shooters. I checked 3 of my spots and found the same at each one. My opinion, that's not hunting, it's just herding them to the slaughter. zone 11

I hear you about the deer drives. The thing that bothers me is that alot of those guys only spent about 5 days a year in the woods, never pick up a weapon other than deer week and get rattled by the slightest noise or movement. Now don't get me wrong, they deserve to hunt as much as I do, but sometimes it makes me a little nervous out there. I hate to hear about hunting accidents because most of them are usually very avoidable and caused by inexperience. As I have said, be safe fellas

DJP you must have went to Wilder in Norton. I stopped by there around 12, and there were at least 15 trucks in the lot. I talked to 2 guys who said everywhere they went in there was orange, and they heard no shots. I saw crap toay, alot of construction around my area seems to have things fubar. I think I will be hitting Halifax or Kingston the rest of the week. Z11
