New Rules For Hunting Migratory Birds In Connecticut

What are the rules for hunting migratory birds? The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) will hold a meeting on Migratory Bird Hunting Regulations from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Monday, August 5, 2013, in the rear conference room at the DEEP Marine Headquarters, 333 Ferry Road, in Old Lyme.

The purpose of the meeting is to provide interested parties an opportunity to comment on the proposed hunting season regulations for the 2013-2014 migratory bird seasons. 

The DEEP will present proposed regulations and take all public comments. Final hunting season dates will be formulated shortly after the comments are compiled and evaluated. Hunters are reminded that the DEEP accepts comments on the migratory bird hunting regulations year round; however, this meeting serves to finalize the regulations and is held immediately after the federal frameworks are set by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
