Get a hunting license, wait for an open season that allows the sort of firearm you want to shoot, and go hunting. Just miss, unless you really intended to hunt all along.

The following species may be taken year round (except during shotgun deer season) by licensed hunters with no daily or seasonal bag limit: English sparrow, flying squirrel, red squirrel, chipmunk, porcupine, skunk, starling, weasel, and woodchuck.

I bring a .22 revolver or semi to central MA, such as the WMAs off season, and plink all the time. With my Charter Arms Pathfinder I can shoot Aquila Colibri or CCI CB Shorts, and it's pretty quiet, although I also pop off a few rounds of the mini-mags and Stingers, just to feel alive. I'll find a safe backstop, like a hill without rocks, and shoot at a can, or dead wood, etc I find plinking in the woods very fun, relaxing, and re-energizing to face the world. And even my wife.

Enjoy it while you can brotherI know several places in Southeastern Mass that you can shoot with no problems at all. My buddy and i took his AK and my AR out and must have ripped off 300 rounds or more between the two of us.

Anyone know of any woods in SE mass that I can do some plinking with my 20mm? HE rounds only, no WP.
Interesting thread. One reason the nostalgia from 12 years ago is a faint glimmer is due to “progress”. That progress is urban expansion and there is no way the rural plinker lifestyle will fit in with urbanization. Real estate values due to urbanization have skyrocketed since those former days so take the profits from your sales of real estate and do a few things: Buy a large tract of land with features allowing natural backstops, buy far away from dense urban and especially suburban areas due to many sheep and karens, and if it works out for your situation move far away from this state starting out fresh.
I have land out in north central Ma where I have steel plate setups and shoot every caliber I own. Small improvements allow up to 100 yards now. I just use personal discretion on what times of the day, week, or season that I shoot. It sure is easier than dealing with a club range to some degree. I’ve had one cop drive by slowly on the adjacent road possibly due to a neighbor calling after mag dumps 3 years ago. The only other occurrence I had was one follow me into the driveway to check if I was the owner and not “trespassing” since I do have it posted. We had a great conversation and he was on his way. There are piles of brass on my pistol range. Freedom while not so secure in this state begins to appear stronger west of 495.

Otis is not SE Mass, it is in the Berkshires of western MA, my neck of the woods.
I live in the woods so I have a private place to shoot in the woods, and that would be off of my deck. On nice days I load my mags on the picnic table, on cold days I load my mags on the dining room table (I have a very understanding wife).

Right....
Who in the Eastern part of the state would think there is a town named Otis? Where you actually can still "Shoot in the Woods".

That's one of those fake places that don't actually exist like Peru, MA.Right....

My property abuts OTIS ANGB. I would love to go out there, but have a feeling I would get a visit from local PD, Base Police or MSP. And, there are so many mountain bike riders darting in and out of the thousands of trails, it could get a little dicey on moving targets. If you get some info, please let me know! During hunting seasons I do hear shots on occasion, but not often.
Wait...There's still drive in movies?
Holy shit Batman
Let's all pile in tha Desoto
I keep going by the Braintree one, Hoping to catch a glimpse of that old screen playing once more and not rearending the guy in front doing the same thing.
Any one else remember the service plaza at the braintree split....
