Does anyone know when shotgun season ends? The printed Abstracts says today 12-8-12 but the MA fish/wildlife e-regulations webpage says 12-14-12. Not that they are a great source of info but 2 local Walmarts says the 15th and one say 8th.

Thanks
 
Shotgun season obviously ended Saturday, as the first deer I've seen all year almost became a hood ornament on my vehicle yesterday.

That IS, a strange season set up.
 
I never once fired at a deer during shotgun this year. I took a whole week off of work, spent 6 days straight hunting from sun up to sun down, pushing, sitting, jumping tidal rivers out in the marshes, picking ticks off my skin, pulled a few back muscles and never once got a chance at a close enough shot. I saw a few doe but at 300 yards or so. Quite a disappointing difference between last year where I took down a spike on my very first day ever deer hunting.

I zeroed my CVA black powder yesterday and I'm ready to go out and try again. C'mon baby, one shot, one kill. My freezer is pathetically empty.

My shotgun never left the safe this season. First time I can ever remember.

Maybe I will get out with the ML. I will have to see what develops. It doesn't look good.

Good luck with the ML.
