Hunt Brochure (924 kb pdf) Refuge Hunt Seasons Concur with State Seasons Art Workshop ATTENTION HUNTERS: Please note that if you have a refuge-issued Archery permit, you may hunt “Archery Only” areas during shotgun and muzzleloader seasons. You are NOT permitted to hunt in shotgun and muzzleloader areas during those seasons. If you have a refuge-issued shotgun permit, you may hunt with bow or muzzleloader in shotgun areas. If you have a refuge-issued muzzleloader permit, you may hunt with a bow during muzzleloader season in muzzleloader areas. Although we follow many of the State regulations and seasons, we have additional refuge regulations permitted hunters must follow. We realize this can be a little confusing, so if you are still unclear, please phone us at 978-443-4661.
