CT is one of those states with more No Trepassing and Posted signs than you can shake a stick at. Ask my buddy Rick over at Tails and Trails, who just ran a hunting permission story. In years past it was easier to ask for money than permission. Recently, however, CT town clerks will start to maintain lists of private hunting lands. The state passed a law last month that offers owners of property on which hunting or shooting sports regularly occur the option to list their property with their town clerk to publicize the availability of their land for such use. Town clerks will post the list in the clerk's office. Hunters are still required to obtain permission from landowners before accessing private property, but just think how much easier it will be. And there won't that dred of getting a flat out "NO" to your request. As an added incentive, landowners who allow public to access on their property for recreational purposes at no charge will still have the same protections against liability afforded under current law. This is a real plus for both land owners and hunters.
