I was just reading the AQ statistics page and it seems Ma. has more boxes planted than Ct. 7437 to 7391. I'd think Ct. would have a higher count but not so. Close tho.

It varies and it doesn't matter, except that we in either state are lucky to have so many boxes to search for.

it doesn't matter

true dat.

But there’s always quality over quantity. Just sayin’. 😉

I'm thinking that Andover has more boxes per square inch than any other place in the country. But I could be wrong!! 😁

The sheer number of boxes at Sleeping Giant changed to Unavailable and Unknown had quite an impact.

It may not be a true count - there are always a lot of site boxes, etc, that people forget to retire after an event is over.

Well, you guys do have Harold Parker State Forest ;-)
But what happens when you compare density? Maybe I should go look, if I can figure it out...

...... and the quality STILL supersedes the quantity!!! Many thanks to all the carvers who have contributed their fantastic creations for you all to enjoy! Dingus Dufus is the "clue master" in most cases - No complaints there!!! ;o)

HP State forest is 3320 acres of woodlands and ponds. Lots of room for lots of fun!!! Believe it or not there's way, WAY less than 1 box per acre - even less than 1 in 5 acres! Gotta get yer hike on!!! ;o)

Very true, Pete!! The quality of most of the carves is amazing!!! 😊

I live on the Mass/Conn line so I group CT and Ma together in quality boxes. I find there are a lot of older boxes and boxers in CT. I recently just started boxing in Andover at Harold Parker! just saying WOW here to the quantity and quality and fun boxes there. and then there is Maine. Keeps me boxing for years to come...
