A public hearing on proposed pheasant regulations is scheduled for September 28, 2021. The regulations would establish a pheasant/quail permit and eliminate season bag limits, rooster-only restrictions, and registration for Martin Burns WMA.

After last year’s significant spike in EEE cases, it is critical that the Commonwealth take aggressive, proactive measures to prepare for another potential outbreak.
We will continue to work closely with mosquito control districts across MA to support this important work.
Today, @EEASecretary joined @MassGovernor, @MassLtGov & @MassDPH Commissioner Bharel in Plymouth to highlight steps the Commonwealth is taking to prepare for the EEE season, including increased surveillance testing, larvicide and spraying.
