Massachusetts Shotgun Deer Hunters Harvest reporting 2020

2020 was a bust in most of the country due to covid 19 and it has impacted the outdoors also new regulations for the shotgun deer hunters this year is as follows from the massgov page https://www.mass.gov/info-details/massachusetts-2020-fall-hunting-season-information#deer-hunting-announcements—

Harvest reporting is required. Due to COVID-19 closures, hunters may report online during both weeks of shotgun season this year

Harvest Reporting

Shotgun Season: Normally, all deer taken during the first week of shotgun season must be brought to a physical check station so that MassWildlife staff can collect biological data. However, due to restrictions related to COVID-19, online harvest reporting using MassFishHunt will be allowed during the first week of the 2020 shotgun season, and is the preferred way for hunters to report their harvest. We expect to return to normal in-person reporting during the first week of the 2021 shotgun deer season.
