Not sure this was well thought out.

“Before hunting accidents and other related tragedies begin to increase I strongly believe that with an abundance of other options in Massachusetts, for the duration of hunting season, dog walkers should seek alternate places to walk their dogs. Ideally, we would like to not see dogs, with the exception of hunting dogs in WMAs during hunting season at all. Some of the most serious accidents in Mass have occurred when a person was walking their dogs during hunting season. This could be avoided by banning dogs altogether.”
