  • Berkshire Zone: October 14 – November 16
  • Central Zone: October 12 – November 30 and December 17 – January 4
  • Coastal Zone: October 12 – October 19 and November 26 – January 25
• Late Goose Season
  • Berkshire Zone: December 18 – February 15
  • Central Zone: January 16 – February 15
  • North Coastal Zone: January 27 – February 15   
• Duck Season
  • Berkshire Zone: October 14 – November 30 and December 16 – January 4
