2013 hunting licenses on sale

BOSTON (AP) -- The Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife says hunting, sporting, fishing and trapping licenses for 2013 are now for sale.

The licenses became available Saturday for purchase online at www.mass.gov/massfishhunt and at various vendor locations and MassWildlife offices.

State officials are reminding online shoppers to check the proper box for a 2013 license, since 2012 licenses are also still available.

Anyone 15 years old or older needs a license to fish in fresh water or hunt.

Freshwater fishing licenses for teens ages 15 to 17 are free, but can’t be bought online.
