Bow Hunting in the Punkhorn Parklands – December 4 through December 23

Punkhorn Hunting

Town Meeting approved a new Town bylaw in 2022 allowing bow hunting in the Punkhorn Parklands for a three-week period in December.  A designated area in the Punkhorn will be open for bow hunting only again this year, beginning Monday December 4 and ending on Saturday December 23. Please study the maps of the designated areas to be aware of where hunting in Brewster is permitted and where it is prohibited. Hunting is not permitted on Sundays in Massachusetts.

Residents are required to purchase a hunting permit through the Town Clerk’s office. To prepare for the season, hunters must abide by the updated 2023-2024 Brewster Hunting Regulations.

The safety of hunters and non-hunters is of paramount importance during hunting season. Hunters must read the state’s hunting regulations. Non-hunters should also review the list of safety tips provided by the state.
