Phil,

When I moved over 6 years ago now, the rules went like this:

1) Show proof of residency for a resident license.

2) Show out-of-state hunting license (it was not dictated it had to be a resident license) for a non-resident license.

3) Proof of identification with driver's license or military ID.

For archery, you can show a bowhunter education certificate from any state, but you must have the bowhunter education to get the archery permit.

If you're applying for a non-resident license, I believe your driver's license and Mass hunting license will suffice. However, the DEP has been revamping many of their laws just the past few years, so best to call the DEP on monday and just ask...
