  • Pheasant Hunting in Connecticut Changes in 2017
    Pheasant Hunting in Connecticut Changes in 2017: This year, the DEEP will purchase a total of 15,000 adult pheasants. This year 7-8 areas will be stocked on Saturday morning and afternoon and will only be open to hunters with a Saturday a.m. (9 am -12 noon) or Saturday p.m. (1:30 pm - 4:30 pm) permit. These select areas will be stocked prior to the morning permit and during the afternoon break to assure hunters that birds will be available at these areas on the weekend. These areas will include: Cromwell Meadows WMA, Durham Meadows WMA, Housatonic WMA, Nathan Hale State Forest, Naugatuck State Forest (Hunter's Mountain Block only), Simsbury WMA and Skiff Mountain Coop WMA. All hunters wishing to use these areas on Saturdays must have a Saturday permit and will only be able to be present during the specified time on the daily permit. Saturday permits for these areas will only be available on the Online Sportsmen Licensing System the Monday preceding the Saturday hunts starting at 12:01 am. As in past years, the third week of November (13th - 18th) will be an abbreviated week. During that week birds will only be released in the beginning of the week at all areas except: Cromwell Meadows, Durham Meadows WMA, East Windsor/Enfield PR Area, Higganum Meadows WMA, Housatonic WMA, Mansfield Hollow, MDC New Hartford, Simsbury WMA, Suffield WMA and Thomaston Dam. CONNECTICUT RESIDENT GAME BIRD CONSERVATION STAMP: All pheasant hunters must purchase a Resident Game Bird Conservation Stamp, along with a hunting license.

In order to further protection of this large forest block and its diverse wildlife, in September 2003 The Middlesex Land Trust created Meshomasic Forever Paula Rose Wild, a fund to support acquisition of private parcels in Hikers George Rolland, John LeShane, and Chuck Bernstein and around Meshomasic State Forest.
