Fishing & Hunting Licenses<\/strong>
\nIn Massachusetts, hunting and fishing require appropriate licenses and permits. Hunters need a hunting license, with additional permits for specific species or methods. Anglers must have a fishing license, with extra permits for certain types, like saltwater fishing.
