This year the DEEP will purchase a total of 14,935 adult pheasants based on
revenues from the sale of 4,515 pheasant stamps in 2014. As a result of the
decreased revenue collected in 2014 (106 fewer stamps sold) and a slight
increase in the average price of adult birds, DEEP will be purchasing 605 fewer
birds this year. As a result of fewer birds and declining habitat conditions,
birds will not be stocked at the Kollar WMA, Sprague Permit-Required Area,
Hebron Permit-Required Area, NU-Maromas Cooperative WMA, and the Weber’s Block
of Cockaponset State Forest. However, additional birds will be released at
Meadow Brook, Bear Hill, Bartlett Brook, and the Higganum Meadows Wildlife
Management Areas. Please note that pheasants will not be
stocked the week of November 16 on any state-owned areas.
Pheasant Tags: A reminder that pheasant tags are no longer required; however, hunters still need to purchase a pheasant stamp authorization for their Conservation License. The stamp will be valid until the end of February.
Pheasant stamp authorizations can be purchased through the online Sportsmen’s Licensing System at www.ct.gov/deep/sportsmenlicensing and from participating town clerks and retail agents, including Franklin Swamp WMA (Franklin), Sessions Woods WMA (Burlington), DEEP Marine Headquarters (Old Lyme), DEEP Eastern District Headquarters (Marlborough), DEEP Western District Headquarters (Harwinton), and DEEP Headquarters (Hartford).

all major stocking areas, visit the DEEP website at www.ct.gov/deep/hunting.
