Connecticut 2020 Deer Hunting Regulation Changes
Submitted by: TBC Press
Posted on: 04/15/20

| ||||
This regulation DOES NOT currently apply to the 2020 Deer Lottery Areas because the lottery has already been conducted. The 2021 Connecticut Hunting and Trapping Guide will contain details regarding the 2021 Deer Lottery.
Deer Hunting Attractants:
All use of natural deer urine products is prohibited, particularly for the purposes of taking or attempting to take or attract deer, or for the surveillance or scouting of deer. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) can spread through exposure to infected deer urine. This new regulation safeguards Connecticut’s native deer population against unnecessary risk of contracting CWD.
COVID-19
To help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and continue to enjoy outdoor activities during this pandemic, ALL outdoorsmen (man, woman, child) must follow the guidelines (set by nps.gov) to help control the spread of COVID-19. These guidelines include; social distancing, the Leave No Trace principles, including pack-in and pack-out, to keep outdoor spaces safe and healthy.

News # 13491
The following deer regulations became effective in early 2020. Any new regulations related to hunting and trapping are NOT reflected in the printed version of the 2020 Connecticut Hunting and Trapping Guide.
However, they are reflected in the hunting guide information on the DEEP website. The marine fishing regulations will be included in the 2020 Fishing Guide (which will be available soon).
Deer A and B Seasons:
No-lottery A and B Deer Hunting Seasons have been combined. Regardless of the permit (A or B Season) printed on a hunter’s license, he/she can hunt deer from November 18 – December 8, 2020 (3 weeks total).
