I have heard that you can hunt any land in Massachusetts so long as it 150 yards from houses and roads, and where there is no posted signs saying "No hunting" or "No trespassing". Can anyone confirm? I have been all over the Massachusetts Wildlife official website and can't find a clear answer. I know they post where you can hunt in state forests and WMAs, but I would like to steer clear of these areas and find a nice, private, low pressure area. Any ideas?
I believe thats true...my cousin has been hunting MA since the 70's and he told me as long as its not posted and you follow the distance laws you should be fine. But some towns DO have by laws stating you must have written permission from land owner regardless if its posted or not...wilbraham is one of them.
Adamant is right. You can hunt public land as long as its not posted but each town may have their own laws. For instance, you cannot hunt in the town of Franklin without written landowner permission..
