The Hamden Fish and Game Protection Association Inc. is a traditional hunting, fishing, and shooting sports club. Located on Willow Street in the Mount Carmel Section of Hamden, CT. Hamden Fish and Game sits on over 80 acres of woodlands near Sleeping Giant Mountain.

The Hamden Fish and Game Protective Association Inc. was formed in 1940 by 8 men steeped in the shooting and firearms manufacturing culture of South Central Connecticut. Their names were Jim Kennedy, Frank Tirone, Don Maturo, Byron Catlin, Earl Brunsmade, Jim Clement, Anthony Masselli and Al Arrigoni.

In 1945 the Club property was purchased from the CT Light and Power Company. By 1950 skeet field, a rifle range and pheasant pens were built, an electrical service was installed and two wells were drilled. The last improvement before the dawn of the new decade was the construction of a rearing pond in which to raise trout.
