The official regulations have the final word

These dates come from rows a person checked against the Connecticut DEEP Wildlife Division's regulations, but bag limits, licences, draws, legal hours and closures are set there and can change during the season. Read them before you hunt.

HuntGrid isn't affiliated with the Connecticut DEEP Wildlife Division. A season shows here only once a person has checked it; others may exist.
