Hunting
Hunting
Hunting is regulated by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection as part of its comprehensive wildlife management program.
During the appropriate season, hunting is allowed in a limited number of State Parks and many State Forests (see list below). Listings of all seasons and pertinent regulations are published annually in the Connecticut Hunting and Trapping Guide.
