I had to google Ridgefield, looks like a good area from sat pictures. I know on the East Side it can be a bit hit or miss on the hunting reception by land owners but we have a lot of public land so it is not a big concern for me. I have found that either just getting to know the neighbors or searching out the public or access land is a good start. Getting started hunting in this state can be a bit of a learning curve depending on where you came from. Good luck.
