2008 hunting, fishing and trapping licenses are now available for purchase online and at license vendors across the state. License fees support MassWildlife's efforts in habitat protection, stocking fish and pheasants, biological projects, education programs and endangered species restoration.

Licenses may be purchased online via the MassOutdoors website at http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/dfw_toc.htm. Be sure to choose "2008" when purchasing 2008 licenses, permits, and stamps. Deer hunters are reminded that they must wait until January 1, 2008 to apply for antlerless deer permits online. Due to documentation requirements, trapping licenses and hunting licenses for minors are not available online.

Licenses are also available for purchase at over the counter license vendor locations throughout the state. Hunting and sporting license buyers are reminded that they must show either a previous hunting license or a hunter safety certificate from any state or Canadian province in order to purchase those types of licenses.

Piebald 8 Point Georgia Buck
My father Johnny Sr took this 8 point piebald buck in Hall County Georgia on 12-21-07. I thought it was a once in a life time buck, for a man who is living with so many disabilities. It was taken with a ten point crossbow.
