BLT preserves are used for multiple recreational purposes. During hunting season it is especially important that users be aware of others using the land.

For a current list of Hunting Season Dates and Bag Limits please visit Maine IFW’s website. Hunting is a traditional use of open space lands in Bangor that is allowed on two BLT preserves (Northeast Penjajawoc and Central Penjajawoc). We ask hunters to register at the BLT office so we know who is hunting on our preserves and so we can request hunters’ help in reporting any unusual occurrences. Hunters are expected to abide by all state and local hunting regulations, to avoid heavily used hiking areas, and to be courteous to any non-hunters they may encounter. State law permits hunting from 1/2 hour before sunrise to 1/2 hour after sunset for most of the open hunting seasons. Please see Maine IFW’s website for a chart of legal hunting hours. Hunting is not allowed on Sundays.

Hikers should wear blaze orange (front and back) as a safety measure, just as hunters do. Dogs at Northeast PJJ should remain leashed (as always) and should also be wearing some visible article of blaze orange. Hikers are expected to be respectful to the hunters with whom they share the woods during this time of year. During the month-long deer hunting season with firearms, Sundays are the best days to hike.
​
Please contact the office, 942-1010, if you would like to register to hunt or have other questions.
