How Much Can I Be Fined for Shooting a Deer on My Private Property Without a Hunting License in Connecticut
In Connecticut, it is illegal to hunt deer without a valid hunting license. If you are caught shooting a deer on your private property without a license, you may be subject to a fine of up to $500 and/or imprisonment for up to 60 days. Additionally, you may be required to forfeit your firearm and any deer you have killed.
Even if you do own the property where you are hunting, you still need a hunting license. This is because the state of Connecticut has a "trespass to hunt" law, which makes it illegal to hunt on any property without the permission of the owner.
If you are renting a property, you must have the permission of the landlord to hunt on the property. Even if the landlord gives you permission, you still need to have a valid hunting license.
