NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS: We will be holding two virtual public hearings on February 23 (6 p.m. and 7 p.m.) on two different proposed deer hunting regulation packages. Feedback is being collected separately for each.

At 6 p.m., we will be collecting feedback about the proposal to make emergency deer hunting regulations in Zones 13 & 14 permanent which includes extending winter deer season two weeks into February, creating an early deer season in September in Zones 13&14, removing the visibility requirement, and removing the on-island deer check requirement.

At 7 p.m., we will be collecting feedback about proposed changes to regulations for deer hunting and tagging of deer which includes opening a winter deer season in Zones 9, 10, & 11 using a primitive firearm or archery equipment, adding a second day to the Youth Deer Hunt, eliminating the use of natural deer based lures and scents, allowing MEP to substitute electronically provided confirmation numbers for metal seals, and standardizing the start of the Archery season to the Monday following Youth Deer Hunt.

If you can't make the hearings, you can still submit comments by email or mail until March 9. Review regulations, get hearing details, and learn how to submit comments at bit.ly/Deer-Public-Hearings-2026

🦌 The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has extended deer hunting season on Nantucket in response to the island’s high deer population and its impacts on forest health, public safety, and public health. Traditionally, firearm season ended in late December, but this year it has been extended through January 31, 2026, to provide additional opportunities for licensed hunters to help reduce the deer population.

Nantucket has some of the highest deer densities in the state, and increased harvest opportunities can help address issues such as habitat degradation, deer-vehicle collisions, and tick-borne illnesses linked to overabundant deer. Hunters participating in the extended season must have a valid 2026 Massachusetts hunting license and comply with all state and local regulations.

Hunters on Nantucket can also contribute to community food programs by donating deer through the Nantucket Land Bank Agricultural Processing Center. The Processing Center accepts whole field-dressed deer at 19 Boynton Lane, Monday - Saturday 8:00 AM -6:30 PM and Sundays 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM.

Update: The extended deer hunting season on Nantucket has been further extended through February 14, 2026, providing additional time for licensed hunters to help manage the island’s deer population while continuing to comply with all state and local regulations.
