Here in Massachusetts, spring means trout season as well as spring turkey season. Unfortunately for us the turkey hunting is limited to shotgun or archery only. I wish I was able to take a fine gobbler with my TC Contender with the 22 Hornet barrel. To me that would be a great challenge. Calling in a bird and hitting that golf ball sized target with a specialty handgun.
As a teenager I shot many woodchucks in the spring and summer but most of the dairy farms that provided them habitat had gone under. They are now host to cluster housing and other development. Here in Massachusetts we have a season on coyote. The season will close this Monday on March 8th. I wished we could hunt them during the pup season to thin them out but the burro crats think otherwise.
We have a list of what is called unprotected game in Massachusetts that can be hunted year round without any bag limit.
The list is as follows:
OPEN SEASONS
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, woodchuck.
