I was at YMCA Camp Harrington, Boylston Mass. last weekend. There is nothing more startling than being outdoors adjacent to a rifle range. boom-boom-boom-boom-boom. I found that much more disconcerting than being in the forests and hearing booms far in the distance.

Have the same urge to get in a couple more hikes up here as well Skier75. Got out a couple days ago up around small, unknown-to-hiking mountain with many small spring-fed brooks leading into a bog & outlet-stream. Noticed a hunter's car..a long way from where I wanted to go...but that plus the inch+ of snow up here that a few days ago hadn't melted and had the terrain pretty muddy....told me to back off for a while. With the last couple harsh winters for both deer and moose up here..the last thing needed is a hunting season(hunting rant off...for now). Coyotes are another thing altogether. They're the ones having the feast of deer.
