RE: connecticut
Hi,
I hunt eastern Litchfield county - Goshen, Harwinton, Burlington, etc. and occasionally get up to the Canaan area. .
Usually get a few deer (private land) and do well on birds, pheasant, woodcock, and the odd grouse. I also try to take an annual trip to Maine (birds) or Canada (been to Anticosti a few times).
I don't see much of a future for huinting in this state. Open land is getting scarce and the number of hunters is going down.
