Mass is a pretty small state. Are 2 of the other states CT & RI. The problem with living in small states is that when you shoot, everyone can hear it. Everyone deserves to have thier fun & enjoy life as they see fit. But not when that infringes on the rights of others who only want the same. You can hunt 6 days a week. From dawn till dusk. That's about a half hour before & after sun-up & down, if I'm not mistaken. Why should a person have to be woken up by gunshots every single day during the season, before the sun is up. You can't even start loud yard equipment till 7am.
