Alternative A (No Action): The
National Park Service would continue
the hunting program as it was prior to
a court decision to enjoin the pheasant
hunting and stocking program. Hunting
would continue in accordance with the
seasons and regulations established by
the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries
and Wildlife (MDFW), and in
accordance with the existing rules
established by Cape Cod National
Seashore pertaining to the time of year
hunting is allowed, the species that can
be hunted, and no-hunting zones. Under
this alternative, the pheasant hunting
and stocking program would be reestablished.
Alternative B (Preferred Alternative):
The hunting program described in
Alternative A would be modified as
described below. These modifications
were derived from the input received
during public scoping, and would retain
hunting as part of Cape Cod’s cultural
heritage while addressing concerns
raised by non-hunting visitors.
Element 1: An adaptive management
approach would be used to phase out
the pheasant stocking and hunting
program over a 15-year period. The
number of pheasants stocked each year
would be determined in coordination
with MDFW, and would be based on
hunting pressure and the response of
native quail populations to cultural
landscape restoration activities. If at the
end of 15 years, native upland game
bird hunting opportunities have not
increased to a level roughly
commensurate to the stocked pheasant
hunt, the park will work with MDFW to
create opportunities for a stocked quail
hunt.

Element 2: This element would
simplify the scope of hunting areas, and
would designate hunting-permitted
areas versus the current policy which
allows hunting in all areas except where
specifically prohibited. The huntingpermitted areas would be delineated
based on the existing 500-foot nohunting buffers around paved roads and
buildings, expanding the no-hunting
buffers around bicycle paths from 150
feet to 500 feet, and eliminating the
small patches and thin slivers of area
that cannot practicably be hunted.
Element 3: This element would
increase traditional hunting
opportunities for native upland bird
species. Specifically, the park’s rules
would be revised to allow the State’s
spring eastern turkey hunt to occur
within the park. Additionally, this
element would include developing and
implementing cultural landscape
restoration activities that are expected to
improve habitat quality for upland game
birds, particularly northern bobwhite
quail.
Element 4: Improved information
regarding hunting-permitted areas,
hunting regulations, and safety
measures would be developed. Outreach
strategies would be developed to
improve hunter and visitor
understanding of the hunting program.
Alternative C: This alternative would
consider eliminating hunting at Cape
Cod National Seashore. A sub-element
of Alternative C would eliminate only
the pheasant program while retaining
the other aspects of the hunting
program.
