Massachusetts New Black Bear Hunting Regulations: Effective for 2015

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

Changes have been made to the Massachusetts Black Bear hunting regulations which will apply to the upcoming 2015 bear hunting seasons. Bears may now be hunted statewide and may be hunted during the Shotgun Deer Season. If hunting bears during the Shotgun Deer Season, only the following implements may be used:
  1. shotgun not larger than ten gauge, including shotguns with a rifled bore, slugs only;
  2. muzzle-loading firearm, fired from the shoulder, .44 to .775 caliber; or
  3. bow and arrow.
During the Shotgun Season, all Shotgun Deer Season regulations apply. Hunters must be wearing 500 square inches of blaze orange on their chest, back, and head. No rifles or handguns are allowed.
Remember, bear harvest can be reported online during all bear seasons. Don’t forget your $5 bear permit! Click here to learn more about Black Bear hunting.
If you purchased your bear permit before June 22, 2015, the expiration date on your permit does not reflect the new bear season end date. Be advised that your permit is valid for all 2015 bear seasons, including the new Shotgun Bear Season (Nov. 30- Dec. 12). Your bag limit is still 1 bear per year. You do not need to take any further action regarding your bear permit.
Good luck this fall!

  2. Cover letter examples can be a great tool to get you on the right track to creating a high quality covering letter. If you choose examples that demonstrate some of the key factors that make covering letters successful, you'll be starting off on the right track. howtohunt
