MASS: Doe Permits Out

[whacko]

I live and pretty much only hunt in Z12. I didn't get a doe tag.
I'll try again later though, in case it's related to the system being down.

It's might be the system being down but 12 was 81% last year.

Wow, I thought 12 was a lock like 10, 11, 13, and 14. Do you have the link for those stats?

I put it in for 9, always got it, then get surplus for 10. Do you know when surplus sales start (assuming they fix the system!)

 

[whacko]

I'll make it easier for everyone. % by zone last year and this year:

Zone. 2017. 2018

1. 38% . 48%
2. 14%. 19%
3. 60% . 73%
4n. 22%. 29%
4s. 25%. 35%
5. 43%. 42%
6. 45% .44%
7. 86% .85%
8. 74%. 73%
9. 100% .100%
10. 100% .100%
11. 100%. 100%
12. 81%. 98%
13. 100%. 100%
14. 100% .100% .

Some went up some went down. Only big change I see is zone 12 went up quite a bit as well as a 10% increase in 4s and 1.

Surplus tags go on sale some time in October. I do the same.....apply for 9 cuz I hunt fort devens......buy a 10 surplus tag cuz it's close to my house and I hunt a couple days close to home.


Also see my last post.....gives % issued last year and this year.

Surplus tags go on sale some time in October.

Hopefully they put the 10 - 14 surplus on sale before Oct. 1, because that's opening day this year in those zones.

Good point!

I received no response from my email sent to MassWildlife.

And if I find any corn in the woods, I'm going to piss on it.

I got a canned email from mass f and g yesterday about the system being down.

Jeez if I'm one of the 2% that don't get a doe tag this year I'm gonna be pretty pissed.

I swear I am cursed with this new system. I've only gotten one doe permit since the new system and this year was the lowest success rate yet at 73%.

Rare year....my son, I and my dad all got one for Zone 8.

Likely won't use them....we will take a couple does for the freezer Sept 15 in southern CT where they are overpopulated. We eat about 2-3 deer a year, and don't take more than we would eat. Generally we fill 2-3 tags on opening day and are done with meat hunting for the year.

After that its big bucks! and probably tag soup....

 

[HorizontalHunter]

I remember when zone 8 was 100% and you could also get them over the counter.

I do the same in Connecticut. The numbers in southern Connecticut are way down from what they once were.
