Massachusetts Deer Hunting by County

Massachusettsreports its deer harvest by management unit rather than by county, so county-level harvest totals aren't available here. Public land and terrain are still broken out by county below.

See Massachusetts season dates or the Massachusetts wildlife agency for unit-level harvest data.

Massachusetts publishes deer harvest by wildlife management zone (WMZ), not by county, so these are statewide totals — not a county figure. Source: MassWildlife.
