Yes zone 1 for moose.
Actually I'm not the winner. My third hunt 3 years in a row. But I'm always the sub-permitee. My crew has been insanely lucky. Good luck to you too!! I may do some bear hunting as well, if the moose hunt is done quickly. I know people up there that have been baiting. Around Town of Van Buran |

I really want to start hunting this year (bow, rifle, shotgun). Where do they hold classes to get the license?

[#10]
Check out CT DEP site. (And keep checking the site.) They have the classes listed but may be full.
Also sometime private hunting clubs do classes. If you know people that belong, ask them if any classes are coming up and sign up. ETA http://www.ct.gov/deep/cwp/view.asp?a=2700&q=429848&deepNav_GID=1633 http://www.ct.gov/deep/cwp/view.asp?a=2700&q=323358&deepNav_GID=1633 |

Get in now. They seem to drop off after September and are hard to find due to it being hunting season. Bow is a seperate licence to firearm hunting so it's a sperate class

Hoping to get out on my brothers 46 acres. My son asks me at least once a week if we can go hunting for coyotes, deer or bears. It's fun to try and explain the hunting laws and rules to a 6 year old. Hope he's sitting next to me in my stand at my brothers!

Kind of hard to tell but i think you see fat instead of another hole on the other side. I should have taken the pic of the bullet lodged in the skin in its back. I shot it in the chest from the ground . The hole is about 3 inches from its sternum |
