Hunting licenses for Connecticut are administered through the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. Hunting license and permit applications can be made online through the state's Online Sportsmen Licensing System. Hunting licenses registered in this way do not incur payment fees.

A Connecticut Conservation ID is issued as a unique number to all people enrolled in the system. In order to qualify for a hunting license, the applicant must possess proof of having either held a Resident hunting license or having completed a safety education course offered or recognized by the Department of Environmental Protection, such as the Connecticut Conservation Education/Firearms (CE/FS) course.

Hunting licenses issued by personal printers can be used by Connecticut hunters. Reprinting of a license in the event of the original paper copy being damaged or lost is provided through a link at the top of the website page. 

Conservation Education/Firearms Safety and other safety education courses are administered through the Wildlife Division of the Department of Environmental Protection, which provides certifications to volunteer instructors. Taking the Conservation Education/Firearms Safety course requires at least sixteen hours for receiving classroom instruction. Additional safety education requirements can increase the time commitment to about twenty hours.

Some of the courses required of hunting license applicants include state hunting and gun laws, hunting ethics, instruction in various forms of firearms, identification of different wildlife, emergency situation responses, and firearm accuracy and safe use. A final written exam will be given comprising 100 questions. In order to pass, at least 80% of the questions must be answered correctly. In addition to passing the written exam, a hunting license applicant must demonstrate practical safety skills in the field. Contact a Connecticut lawyer for legal advice and assistance.

Practical skills can be demonstrated at firing ranges and fence crossings and by moving firearms before use. Safety certification in firearm use is offered to Connecticut residents of ten years of age and older. Holders of Connecticut hunting licenses must be at least 12 years old, and from that age to 15 must be supervised by another licensed hunter at least 18 years old. The same hunting licenses available to Connecticut residents are available to members of the U.S. military serving their active duty in the state. 

Regulations on the tagging and reporting of larger game are mainly geared by the state toward the hunting of deer and turkey. Other kinds of game provided for by the Department of Environmental Protection include pheasant, tags for which can be ordered online or by licensing agents, and migratory birds, for which a Connecticut Migratory Bird Conservation Stamp or a Connecticut Duck Stamp may be purchased. 

Indiana law, much like most of the rest of the United States, requires that any hunting activities must be done on the contingency of applying for the proper permit. Indiana hunting is presided by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, and imposes the regulations and restrictions regarding the hunting of the various game under Indiana law.

Indiana hunting laws are divided according to the type of hunting being undertaken, as well as what kind of game is to be hunted. Furthermore, there are certain requirements that must be met in order to obtain the proper Indiana hunting license. General provisions for acquiring an Indiana hunting license are: 

A resident of the state of Indiana for at least sixty consecutive days before submitting an application for a hunting license.

All others that do not meet this requirement are considered as non-residents, and must adhere to the specific procedures to acquire such an Indiana hunting license, as well as any imposed regulations and restrictions by Indiana law.

The Indiana hunting license must carried on the person at all times while hunting. This also includes the HIP certification number if engaged in hunting specific kinds of bird game.

Must be at least the age of thirteen to obtain an Indiana hunting license. Those under the age of thirteen must be accompanied with an adult of at least eighteen years of age with a valid Indiana hunting license. Apprentice and youth licenses shall be issued as deemed appropriate by Indiana law.

Hunting licenses issued to those born after December 31st, 1986, are contingent upon the completion of the hunter education class as offered by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. 

Indiana hunting licenses are granted to qualified individuals and must be issued for the appropriate type of game to hunted. The most common type of game hunted in the state of Indiana are deer, dove, turkey, pheasant, quail, ruffed grouse, turkey, and various types of waterfowl. Each type of game and the type of weapon employed for hunting are subject to Indiana hunting laws that dictate the appropriate seasons for each, which are as follows for 2009-2010 season:

Indiana hunting laws also provides for certain times of day in which hunting of game can take place during a season. Turkeys can be hunted a half-hour before sunrise until sunset. Deer are allowed to be hunted a half hour before sunset until a half hour after dusk. The other types of game have similar types of restrictions and should be consulted with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

Any person that hunts for any particular game out of the seasons as allowed by Indiana hunting laws is subject to penalties and fines by Indiana laws, as well as be liable to lose their hunting license. As with any state, Indiana hunting laws can be quite extensive and very specific. Therefore, it is always recommended to consult with the appropriate agency regarding the provisions and regulations for hunting, as well as the necessary requirements for hunting licenses. 

An extensive guide to the regulations which govern hunting in Alabama can be found by residents and visitors in the officially issued Alabama Hunting and Fishing Digest. For hunters who require more comprehensive information, a complete listing of Alabama law for hunting can be found in the publications "Alabama Game, Fish and Wildlife Law" and "Game and Fish Regulations." 

Alabama does not require the purchase of hunting permits for residents who hunt on their own property. Non-residents of Alabama who own property in the state are required by the state to obtain permits before they use their property as a hunting ground. Non-residents who are stationed in Alabama for military service are subject to an exemption from this rule and can obtain the hunting permits otherwise issued only to residents.

Alabama residents are allowed to purchase hunting permits after they reach the age of sixteen and after the age of sixty-five are not required to be in possession of hunting permits. In order to receive a first hunting permit, Alabama residents who were born on or after the date of August 1, 1977 will be required by the state to complete a program referred to as "Mandatory Hunter Education." Under such programs, beginning hunters in Alabama are required to receive at least ten hours of instruction and to complete a written exam.

The personnel who are allowed to conduct a course in Mandatory Hunter Education must be members of the Alabama Game and Fish Division or volunteers certified by that agency. In the interests of preparing young state residents for Alabama deer hunting, Alabama provides for special hunts at specified times and locations before the start of the official Alabama deer hunting season.

These special hunting sessions are open to Alabama residents between the age of 10 and 15 as long as they are accompanied during the hunt by an adult of or over the age of 25 who is in possession of a hunting permit. The accompanying adults at an Alabama deer hunting session for youth will not be allowed to participate in the hunt themselves. Both the youths and the adults during such events must wear the required orange hunting outfits. 

Alabama deer hunting laws permit registered hunters to kill  bucks which have antlers which can be seen above their hairlines. In addition to granting wide latitude to Alabama deer hunting  on the hunter's own property, state regulations also allows residents the option of an Alabama hunting lease, offered by the property owner as a hunting site for others.

The operator of an Alabama hunting lease may be liable in the state's courts for any accident which befalls hunters on his or her land. For this reason, use of an Alabama hunting lease generally requires releasing the owner from any legal responsibility.

Alabama hunting lease owners also commonly require that clients purchase additional insurance coverage extending to the owner. An Alabama hunting lease for deer hunting is likely to be open for the entire season, while hunting leases for doves and waterfowl are generally available by daily agreement. 

Hunting in Alaska is administered by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. The Department's Board of Game sets regulations. Due to the large size of the state, it is divided into twenty-six Game Management Units (GMUs), each with the authority to set its own seasons in regard to various species of big game. Alaska hunting law provides for two different kinds of hunting seasons. The first is a general season and thus run according to conventional procedure. Standard requirements for Alaska hunting include the purchase of a hunting permit, acquisition of tags or harvest tickets, and adherence to the limits set by bag limits and the season. General season permits are sold at at sporting good stores and ADF&G offices.

The second category for hunting in Alaska is a permit hunt. The Board of Game holds these to minimize the impact of the hunting season on game populations by restricting the number of hunters. The three basic kinds of permit hunts are drawing hunts, registration hunts, and subsistence hunts. A drawing hunt is open to residents and non-residents upon payment of an application fee and is awarded by lottery, two of which are held annually, one in spring and the other in winter. Registration hunts are for the most part made available to both residents and non-residents.

Generally there are no limits to the number of permits which may be issued. The few exceptions are those which are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Subsistence hunts are classed under Alaska law on hunting as Tier I and Tier II events and are open only to Alaskan residents. 

Other regulations pertaining to non-residents interested in Alaska hunting involve the placement of tags on carcasses and the requirement for hiring a guide to be present for all of the hunt. While hunting in Alaska, non-residents who are U.S. citizens must be accompanied by a guide when they are hunting brown bears, grizzly bears, Dall sheep, and mountain goats.

An acceptable guide may be either a licensed guide or an Alaskan resident over the age of 19 whom falls within, in the language of Alaska hunting law, "the second degree of kindred," which refers to close family relations. Non-resident aliens (non-U.S. citizens) must have guides present for all big game hunting in Alaska. All non-residents must have at hand the appropriate tags required for various species in big game hunting in Alaska, which must then be locked on to the hide of an animal just after it has been killed. 

Authorization for general Alaska hunting is authorized through harvest tickets. These generally apply to sheep, caribou, deer and moose and can be obtained without charge from license vendors. They often are provided with harvest report postcards, which the ADF&G encourages hunters to return soon after a hunt so at to provide consistent information on hunting in Alaska.

Montana hunting laws are the same for residents and non-residents alike. A popular animal to hunt in Montana is elk. Participators in Montana elk hunting, as well as other types of hunting, must follow a set of guidelines and rules before one is allowed to legally hunt in that state. 

For an individual to be given the legal right to participate in Montana hunting, they must first get a Montana wildlife conservation license. A social security card is necessary for obtaining the conservation license that is needed for Montana elk hunting, as well as any other type of hunting. Since residents and non-residents of Montana must abide by the same hunting rules. Under most circumstances, an individual is only allowed to buy one Montana hunting license a year. Sometimes, Montana elk hunting licenses can be bought more than once.

Younger children are allowed to obtain certain types of Montana hunting licenses as long as they meet some requirements. If a child is 12 or will turn 12 while their license is being processed, they can legally purchase several different types of Montana hunting licenses. A Montana elk hunting license can be purchased, as well as a black bear Montana hunting licenses and two different types of deer hunting licenses.

Montana hunting is only legal for children under the age of 14 if they are accompanied by a qualified safety instructor, a parent or guardian, or an individual that has the parents' permission to take the child hunting.

Once an individual obtains a Montana hunting license, they have to carry it with them at all times when they hunt. Individuals can not lend their license to anyone else. As with most states, neon orange clothing is required, as well as time restrictions on when an individual is allowed to hunt, due to safety reasons. Larger animals can be hunted between a half hour before sun rise until a half hour before sunset.

A Montana hunting license does not entitle an individual to participate in party hunting, or an the action of several individuals shooting at the same animal. Each individual with a Montana hunting license has to shoot their own animal.

While obtaining a Montana hunting license can be complicated, knowing specific rules and regulations can help make the process much easier. One should keep the age of the individual in mind, as well as the various Montana laws that accompany the ability to legally hunt in Montana.
