Can you hunt on town land?

You are in a good area. There is a lot a open land in your area that you can hunt on. I hunt in Haverhill some. Firearms are OK if its in a wooded area however shoot near a house and you'll get a visit from the boys in blue. Another area is Harold Parker State Forest in Andover. I have seen a lot of deer in the Essex - Ipswith area however not sure about open land. Anyway check it out and have fun.

The location I was thinking about is actually in Lynnfield - it's the Keenan Conservation Land. It's an 'in perpetuity' open space land. I looked up the regulations on the Lynnfield town website, and it specific says (in bold) that there is no firearm, bow, or any other type of hunting allowed. Oh well....guess I'll move on. I wonder if the deer (and other game) can actually read these regulations - maybe that's why they all run to these "off-limits" areas (hehe).

I'm actually a member of the Andover Sportsmens Club, located right in the middle of Harold Parker State Forest. Most of the guys I talk to say to stay away from HP, as most of the people who hunt it are wackos who will shoot at anything that moves. I prefer to do my hunting in Maine and New Brunswick.
