New License Fees Proposed

New hunting and fishing license fees proposed

For the first time since 1996, MassWildlife is proposing changes to hunting, freshwater fishing, and trapping license fees. In May 2021, MassWildlife released a new license proposal, which incorporates public input on the original February proposal. In the new proposal, most license fee increases will be phased in over five years, and the proposed increases for hunting permits and stamps are lower than originally proposed. Public hearings will be held on June 22, 23, and 24 on Zoom to provide the public an opportunity to comment on the new proposed changes.

The proposed changes are in the .PDF below. Go to https://www.mass.gov/info-details/masswildlife-funding fot all the details.
