Monday, November 29th, 2021 marks opening day for deer shotgun season. Wareham Natural Resource Officers will be on patrol throughout the woodland areas this season to check for compliance.

Hunters-

🟠➖Always take the time to refresh yourselves by reviewing the Massachusetts hunting regulations and fi****ms safety.

🟠➖Be sure you have all of your required licenses and all documentation with you on your hunt.

🟠➖Ensure all of your permits are current and up to date, we do find expired information.

🟠➖You must have a minimum of 500 square inches of blaze orange on your chest, back and head while hunting during the gun season.

🟠➖For your safety and ours, when a DNR Officer is approaching, we ask that you please make your weapon SAFE!

Outdoor enthusiasts!

🟠➖If you utilize woodland areas that are shared with hunting practices It is advised that you also wear some bright clothing while out in the woods. This is strictly just for your safety because accidents CAN happen!!! If a hunter sees a deer but cannot see you beyond the deer, then you could be accidentally hit by the projectiles.

🟠➖If you are in a shared area with pets; bright-colored collars, harnesses, and vests are also available for dogs as well as horses and should be utilized. Be sure dogs are leashed at all times in the Town of Wareham, we have a leash law. If your dog is found chasing wildlife and loose, you could receive a fine.

🟠➖Shotgun Season will run from Nov. 29 to December 11, 2021

🟠➖Primitive Fi****ms will run from December 13 to December 31, 2021

Please report all suspected hunting violations or concerns to the Massachusetts Environmental Police by calling 800-632-8075 or the Wareham Department of Natural Resources at 508-291-3100 extension 3180.

Thank you all for your cooperation and we wish you a good and safe season.

***PRISON CAMPS***

On Saturday, November 20, 2021 at 12:00 noon, the Rutland Historical Commission will be touring the Prison Camp Ruins. The public is most welcome to come along. We will meet at the State Park gate and caravan into the camps.

**Please wear blaze orange or bright clothing if possible as it is pheasant season out there **

The Commission has been granted oversight for a $50,000 state funding allocation towards the preservation and history of the Prison Camp Ruins. We will also host a Public Information Session at our next monthly meeting to gather additional input and suggestions as to how best utilize this funding to preserve and protect the history of the Prison Camps.

Thank you to Senator Ann Gobi, Representative Kim Ferguson, and Sheriff Lew Evangelidis for their efforts in making this possible.
