Hunting seasons in Mattapoisett open on October 7 and continue through the end of the year, with limited small game and waterfowl hunting continuing into January and February 2020. Hunting activity will peak from December 2 to 14. Detailed information can be found at www.eregulations.com/massachusetts/huntingandfishing/summary-hunting-season- dates/. Mattapoisett is in Zone 11.
Mattapoisett Land Trust properties are open to lawful hunting, in accordance with state regulations. Please be aware of and respect hunters who are legally using MLT lands. Dress for safety, using hats and/or vests of “Blaze Orange” to improve your visibility. And remember, hunters are generally less active during the middle of the day, and no hunting is allowed on Sundays.
MLT welcomes hunters using Land Trust properties, but reminds them that all hunting stands must be removed at the end of the season. We hope hunters and non-hunters alike will enjoy MLT’s woods, fields and marshes.
