DEER CONTROL...
DATE: May 10, 2010 TO: Archery Deer Hunts FROM: Regional Water Authority SUBJECT: Controlled bow hunt on designated Regional Water Authority land
Bow hunting will be allowed this year on approximately 3249 acres of land located in North Branford. The archery hunt, which is part of our deer management program, will take place November 8th to December 7th 2010.
We will distribute 160 permits for the 2010 season. Some permits have been reserved for those hunters who took a doe in 2009. The remaining permits will be distributed by lottery. Applications will be accepted up to June 15, 2010.
Applicants must have a valid 2010 State of Connecticut archery deer permit and be at least 18 years old. Applicants will be required to pass a proficiency test on July 25th, August 7, or August 14th. Additionally, participants will be required to attend one of three pre-hunt meetings on September 13, 21 or 28th. The pre-hunt meetings will serve to review the boundaries, rules, and safety. We will issue the access permits at the end of the pre-hunt meetings. During the hunt, participants will be required to use temporary and a safety (full body) harness. Two names may be submitted per application. However, any person's name appearing on more than one application will disqualify that person.
Additionally, we will be soliciting volunteers to staff a check station for each day of the hunt. Volunteers who put in one day at the check station will be guaranteed a spot in any 2011 hunt that we run. Applications to volunteer at the check station will be available in late June, after the hunter's lottery takes place. Please complete the application form and attach the required documents.
