The following is information from the: Department of Conservation and Recreation on the Blue Hills State Reservation White-Tailed Deer Management Program 2024.
The Blue Hills Deer Management Permitted Archery Hunt will take place Mondays through Thursdays only from November 4 through November 27, 2024. There will be no hunting on Thursday, November 28, 2024 in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday.
The areas included in this year’s hunt were opened to archery hunting last year with the addition of two areas previously open to shotgun hunting. Please review all information carefully whereas there may be differences from previous year hunts. Please address any questions or concerns to mass.parks@mass.gov.
The permitted archery hunt will only take place in designated areas of Blue Hills, as shown on the Blue Hills Archery Hunt map above and in the 2024 Blue Hills Deer Management Plan.
General public access for recreation will not be restricted in those areas in which hunting will take place. Members of the general public who choose to enter those areas in which hunting will be taking place are advised to take proper precautions by wearing blaze orange clothing, vests, and hats.
