Show Notes
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey proposes new legislation to address exploding deer populations, including ending the Sunday hunting ban, allowing all hunters to use crossbows, and reducing the minimum distance for bowhunters from homes to 250 feet. The MassWildlife board supports these changes, and hunters and advocates welcome the crossbow expansion. The proposal would open over 40,000 acres of state land for bowhunting, aligning with looser rules in neighboring states. The public health department also made alpha-gal syndrome, a red meat allergy from lone star tick bites on deer, a reportable condition. These steps indicate a significant shift in managing wildlife pressures in a densely populated state.
