Maine or New Hampshire hunt 2025

I'll send a pm


New Mass laws - so i guess it doesn't really affect hunting guns like shotguns and muzzys. But enough of a deterrent for me,
  • Non-residents can apply for a Temporary License to Carry which entitles the holder (age 21 and older) to possess and carry firearms, including rifles and shotguns including large capacity and semiautomatic firearms and all handguns. To learn more, contact the Massachusetts Firearms Records Bureau at mass.gov/firearms-services.
Exemptions: No firearms license is needed:

  • to hunt with archery equipment;
  • by minors 12–14 years old hunting when accompanied by a duly licensed adult (read more hunting information for minors);
  • by a minor (with parental consent) or a person under 21 being furnished a firearm and ammunition for hunting, instruction, recreation, and participation in shooting sports while under the supervision of a person with the appropriate firearms license for the firearm in use; or
  • by nonresidents 18 years and older to possess rifles or shotguns that are not large-capacity or semiautomatic to hunt with a valid Massachusetts non-resident hunting license. (In other words, rifles and shotguns that accept no more than 10 rounds of ammunition or no more than 5 shotgun shells and that operate with a pump, lever, bolt, or break action.)
Note: A firearms license is different from a hunting license. You need a hunting or sporting license to hunt in MA if you are age 15 or older. Learn more about hunting license requirements.
I’ll need to look into this more. I spoke with the LTC instructor, and that phone call alone made me hesitate about even carrying anything up here, it’s so restrictive. Some of the stories he shared made me think it might not even be worth it. Most of the guys I’ve talked to who live here actually hunt out of state.
