I know asking for hunting areas is like asking for a newborn child or the last slice of pizza, but does anyone have any hints or know of any Mass WMAs that usually produce some good winter cottontails? I live on the zone 9/10 line. Been stomping around Unkity Brook a few times without much luck (or even signs). Appreciate any tips y’all are willing to share.

Mass WMAs for Cottontails

The best way to spot them is to first confirm they're around. Easiest to find some sign after a bit of snow. If you catch one out in the open. they'll typically lock up and pretend they're invisible. If you bump one, they won't go too far. But they are quick.

If Mass is anything like PA we need a longer Bobcat season, the ability to shoot Fishers not just trap them and more people shooting Coyotes on sight. They have destroyed the Cottontail population here.

Plenty of rabbits in mass most munching on nice green lawns in the suburbs I would see 100 a night in Boston any green space they would be out eating
Try Hog hill in Sterling off Merrill rd the old Kristoff pig farm I deer hunt in there have seen rabbits and Hares.
