Fishing, hunting and trapping licenses, as well as archery, primitive and duck stamps can be obtained in person at the Town Clerk's during regular Town Hall business hours, as well as some other Massachusetts Clerk's offices, many sporting good stores, the State Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, and "on-line".
When applying for a hunting or sporting license, you must show a previous year license or a certificate of competency issued by the MassWildlife's Hunter Education Program.
All persons age 15 or older are required to have a license for fishing and/or hunting. Licenses are discounted for residents between the ages of 65-69, and are free for those over the age of 70.
Licenses are valid for the entire calendar year (January 1st through December 31st) regardless when they are purchased. 3-day fishing licenses are also available.
