Hey Everyone!
I am 28 living in Massachusetts on the Northern coast in Zone 10. I do no know anyone that hunts and need a little local guidance.
So I have been working towards going on my first ever hunt, this year (white tail specifically). I am planning on using an inline muzzleloader but other than that I do not really have set plans yet. Everything online seems to always be about the Western US.
I am just hopping for some local advice and guidance on how to go about things.
Is it imperative to use a tree stand? Trying to "Still-Hunt" seems like a better route as I do not have any knowledge of where deer might be and the ability to move seems good.
I know in the hunting community everyone likes to be real hush hush about spots but do spots in zone 10 actually exist because even the little hunting info on MASS exclusively talks about far Western MA? Are there places I should avoid?
Are there any people here that field dress their kills or do most people bring it home/butcher for that?
Any added information is welcome?
Thanks everyone for any replies and or help!
