You need to take the Basic Hunter Education Course first, then you can buy a license.

I'm pretty sure you can take it online now. It is a pain in the ass to find a class in MA. If you find one jump on it because they fill up in a day or two.

Also keep in mind, this is only for your hunting license, if your going with a firearm you still need a LTC or FID card. I know, we're on a gun website but just saying.

Quote HistoryTo clarify a little further, if an individual held a hunting license anywhere in North America issued prior to 2007, Massachusetts does not require a hunter safety course certificate. (If you use the online hunting license system, they will have you complete a tick-box screen which constitutes an affidavit. Additionally, for hunting/sporting license purposes, any states' basic hunter education course is acceptable. It does not have to be a Massachusetts course. |

I'm assuming no, and that you were referencing the hunting license application, but had to ask as that would be a lot easier for me. The class is what's going to hold me back (I've never had a hunting license). Dumb question, are there any ways to get the license without taking the class? |

Looking for a class in November or December. MDFW in Westborough looks like the best option. That said, is anyone aware of any others that aren't listed on the mass.gov site?

In MA all are run by DFW and MUST be posted on their site. Problem is that most fill up just as soon as they post. HOWEVER, since it is free, ~25% or more don't show the first day/night so if you walk in your chance of getting a seat is almost assured. |
