Does anybody know the procedure to get your refund back from the State for the fishing licenses?

Dear Connecticut Hunters and Anglers,

You are being sent this email because you may be entitled to a credit toward your purchase of 2011 fishing and hunting licenses.



During the 2010 session of the General Assembly, legislation was approved and signed into law in April reducing many of the fees for sportsmen’s licenses and permits. This was followed in June by legislation authorizing a credit to be applied against the fee for any 2011 sportsmen’s license, permit or tag when purchase of a license, permit or tag had been made at the higher prices in place between October 1, 2009 and April 14, 2010. The credit amount will be the difference between the higher amount paid during that time period and the amount set by the new fee structure established April 14, 2010.



If you bought a 2010 hunting or fishing license prior to April 14, 2010, you may be entitled to a refund. To learn more about this credit and to see if you are eligible, visit www.ct.gov/dep/sportsmensfeereduction

Taken from another web site.

Here's the main page. It also mentions being able to to this at the Hartford Boat Show, along with the field offices and main office in Hartford.

You'll need this link to find out how much of a refund you're due:

And here's the link to the.pdf file you print, fill out, and mail in. According to the site, in 10 days your 2011 license will be available online to print:

Just mailed mine in as well. Almost half cost for me this year. They didn't make it easy.
