|March/April 2017
Considering it’s the third most densely populated state, the fact that they’ve got bears and a hunting season is something to be celebrated.

Considering it is the third most densely populated state in the county, it might be difficult to comprehend that Massachusetts has a sizeable black bear population. By most indications numbers are increasing and bears continue to expand their range to some of the more populated central and eastern regions of the state. Wandering males have been reported in Brookline and other municipalities surrounding Boston and east to Cape Cod, and bears are known to be present and breeding in Worcester and Middlesex Counties and perhaps Essex County in the Northeast. As a result, hunting seasons have been expanded and more Wildlife Management Zones have been opened to bear hunting providing hunters with more opportunities.
