An Act relative to outdoor heritage

This bill amends Massachusetts hunting laws to clarify rules for carrying firearms in vehicles during specific seasons and to expand protections for hunters against harassment. It requires firearms, rifles, and shotguns to be unloaded when carried in snow vehicles, recreation vehicles, or trailers during open seasons for deer, bear, or turkey, while exempting law enforcement, paraplegics, and certain licensed individuals. The legislation also permits bow and arrow hunting on Sundays and legal holidays if declared as open season by the director, provided the season lasts at least seven consecutive days if it occurs in the last three months of the year. Additionally, the bill strengthens penalties for interfering with lawful hunting, such as blocking access, using devices to drive away wildlife, or vandalizing hunting equipment, with fines and potential jail time for violations.
