As you are aware, there are increasing issues with erratic mountain bikers throughout CT forests and parks. Should you encounter these activities while hunting and are able to capture video of irresponsible or destructive behavior, photos of illegally forged bike paths or other relevant incidents, we would appreciate it if you would reach out to us to share that information. We simply seek to create a record of such activities, with date and location information. Email us at friendsofctsportsmen@gmail.com.

Pre-registration through the Hunter Education Registration System is required.
