Hunter Education Requirements
No hunting, trapping, or archery licenses and permits will be issued to any person unless proof is provided that they have held a RESIDENT license in the respective sport within the last 5 years OR the person has a certificate indicating successful completion of a Connecticut Conservation Education/Firearms (CE/FS) course (or recognized equivalent) in the respective sport for which they are applying.
Hunting by Minors
A person must be 12 years of age or older to hunt. Persons 12 through 15 years of age must be licensed and accompanied by a licensed hunter 18 years of age or older while hunting. A person may not supervise more than 2 minors at one time while hunting. Minors are entitled to their own bag limits.
Trapping by Minors
There is no minimum age requirement for trapping, but persons under age 15 and under must purchase a Junior Trapping License.
Handicapped License
A person who has permanently lost the use of a limb may be issued a hunting, fishing, or trapping license free of charge. These licenses are available at town clerk offices.
