Hunting in Harwich

All Town-owned Conservation areas are open for hunting EXCEPT for Thompsons Field. No hunting is permitted whatsoever at Thompsons Field in order to protect walkers, dog owners and their pets. The Conservation Department recommends that those walking in other Conservation areas wear bright colors during popular hunting seasons, and will post caution signs during these seasons in Town-owned Conservation areas where hunting is popular.

All hunters in Harwich are required to follow all MA state hunting regulations and seasons. The 2023 Hunting Seasons and 2023-2024 Migratory Bird Seasons can be found below. 

If you are concerned that someone is not following hunting regulations or seasons, please contact the Massachusetts Environmental Police at (800) 632-8075 or the Harwich Police at (508) 430-7541. The Harwich Conservation Department is also available to answer general questions.
