Bill > H1057

This bill modifies existing Massachusetts law regarding hunting regulations by specifically allowing deer hunting on Sundays during the open deer hunting season. Currently, hunting of mammals is likely restricted on Sundays, and this bill creates an exception for deer hunting. The proposed change would amend Section 57 of Chapter 131 of the Massachusetts General Laws by inserting language that permits deer hunting on Sundays during the designated open deer hunting season. This modification would provide hunters with an additional day to pursue deer, potentially offering more flexibility for recreational hunting and potentially helping to manage deer populations. The bill represents a targeted adjustment to existing hunting regulations, specifically addressing the longstanding prohibition on Sunday hunting for most mammals by creating a specific exemption for deer.
