An Act relative to certain hunting zones
This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow wildlife officials to establish rifle hunting seasons for deer in specific zones. It directly affects deer hunters who use rifles and the state's wildlife director, who gains new authority to create these seasons. The key provision permits the director (with board approval) to set rifle seasons in designated zones after considering factors like human population density and housing patterns. The change modifies existing hunting regulations under Chapter 131 of the Massachusetts General Laws.
