Following perhaps the most spirited and at times emotionally charged discussion of the evening, the Machiasport selectboard unanimously voted at its Sept. 30 meeting to allow hunting on all town-owned property, to include a blanket permission for hunters to use trail cameras and tree stands. 

Machiasport owns several pieces of land throughout the town, including a 27-acre lot and a separate-but-adjacent 47-acre lot behind the town office and future town garage site.
