How LandTrust works

Short-term hunting leases

LandTrust connects hunters with farmers and ranchers who open their land a few days at a time. Book the property for your dates, pay for just that trip, and the land is yours alone while you’re there.

  1. Find your ground

    Browse properties by species, location and dates. Listings show acreage, maps, lodging and reviews from other hunters.

  2. Book your dates

    Pick a package, message the landowner with questions, and pay online. No year-long lease, no club dues.

  3. Hunt it alone

    No other parties on the property while you’re booked. Check in with the landowner, learn the boundaries, and go hunt.

Traditional hunting lease

  • Full season or year, paid up front
  • Found through a friend, outfitter or club
  • Shared with every lease member, all season
  • Locked into one property

LandTrust booking

  • A single day up to about a week, paid per trip
  • Search, compare and book online
  • Only your party on the land, on your dates
  • Hunt a different property every trip

Why hunt private

Private land hunting in Connecticut

Public land gets crowded once the season opens, and game moves onto private ground to avoid the pressure. Private land holds much of the best habitat, and booking it means you’re the only party out there.

Sources: CRS R42346, Federal Land Ownership (2024); CT Council on Environmental Quality 2024 annual report (DEEP 55,328 acres short of 320,576); BIA Surface Inventory, Eastern Region (May 2025); USGS PAD-US 4.1 (local and state agency acres)

No crowds on your dates

Walk-in and public access programs are great, but popular spots fill up fast. A LandTrust booking gives your party the whole property for the trip.

Arranged with the landowner

You need a landowner’s permission to hunt private land. Booking through LandTrust arranges it directly, with no cold calls or handshake deals.
