SUMMARY:September Season Opens for Resident Canada Geese
DESCRIPTION:Details on this year’s waterfowl hunting days are given in the “2025-2026 Syllabus of State and Federal Hunting Regulations for Migratory Birds in Vermont” that is available HERE. \n  \nVERMONT FISH & WILDLIFE \nPress Release \nFor Immediate Release:  August 18\, 2025 \nMedia Contacts:  Andrew Bouton 802-622-4823; David Sausville 802-324-4206 \nVermont’s Resident Canada Goose Season\, Sept. 1-25 \nVermont’s resident Canada goose hunting season will be held September 1 through September 25 to help control Vermont’s resident Canada goose population prior to the arrival of Canada geese migrating south from Canada according to the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department. \nThe season will be open statewide with a daily bag limit of five Canada geese in the Connecticut River Zone and eight in the rest of Vermont. \nA second Canada goose hunting season for resident and migrant birds will be held October 11-November 9 with a daily bag limit of one Canada goose in the Lake Champlain Zone and Interior Vermont Zone.  \nIn the Connecticut River Zone\, the second Canada goose season will be October 13-November 11\, and November 27-December 26 with a daily bag limit of two Canada geese. \nFor a fourth year\, a late Canada goose season will be held targeting resident birds.  Within the Lake Champlain and Interior zones\, the season will be held from December 1 to January 19\, with a five-bird daily bag limit.  The season will run December 27 to January 15 in the Connecticut River zone and applies only to the lands of the zone\, not Connecticut River waters. \nA hunting license is required\, and a waterfowl hunter 16 or older must carry current federal and Vermont duck stamps.  Federal stamps are sold at post offices\, federal refuges and on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service website.  Vermont is not one of the states where you can buy an electronic federal duck stamp\, but you can purchase one from any state that sells them. \nVermont duck stamps can be added to your hunting license on Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s website and through license agents.  The hunter must sign the federal duck stamp.  \nAll migratory game bird hunters must also be registered with the Harvest Information Program (H.I.P.).  This can be done on Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s website or by calling toll-free 1-877-306-7091.  After providing some basic information\, you will receive your annual H.I.P. registration number\, which you then need to record on your hunting license. \nA printable copy of migratory bird hunting regulations can be downloaded from the Vermont Fish and Wildlife website under “Hunt” – “Waterfowl.”

SUMMARY:Application Deadline for Muzzleloader Antlerless Deer Hunting Permit
DESCRIPTION:We Can Process Your Application at R&L Archery \nMONTPELIER\, Vt. — Vermont’s muzzleloader season antlerless deer permit applications are now available at Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s website and from license agents.  All applications are made online. A link to the information and online applications is on the Fish and Wildlife home page.  \nThe Fish and Wildlife Board met on May 21 and set antlerless deer permit numbers for the fall deer hunting seasons.  \nHunting for antlerless deer will be allowed statewide during the archery season.  One deer of either sex will be allowed during the October 25-26 youth and novice weekend hunt.  \nThe muzzleloader seasons on October 30-November 2 and December 6-14 will have antlerless permits available for 19 of Vermont’s 21 Wildlife Management Units.  \nLandowners who post their land may not apply for a landowner priority muzzleloader antlerless deer permit.  They are eligible to apply in the regular lottery for an antlerless deer permit. \n“Our goal is to balance deer numbers with what the habitat can support\,” said Nick Fortin\, deer and moose project leader for the Fish and Wildlife Department.  “To maintain a healthy and sustainable deer population\, the 2025 recommendation aims to stabilize deer numbers in much of the state while reducing deer numbers in some areas.” \nThe deadline to apply for a muzzleloader antlerless deer permit is July 31. A lottery drawing of the permit recipients will be held September 9.

SUMMARY:Vermont Moose Hunt Application Deadline
DESCRIPTION:MONTPELIER — The deadline to apply for a 2025 Vermont moose hunting permit is June 18.  \nMoose permit applications are available on the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department’s website for the hunt limited to Vermont’s Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) E in the northeastern corner of the state. \nThe Vermont Fish and Wildlife Board voted on April 9 to have 80 either-sex moose hunting permits and 100 antlerless moose hunting permits available this year for a hunt limited to Vermont’s Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) E in the northeastern corner of the state.  The science-based hunt is predicted to result in an estimated harvest of about 86 moose\, or about 10 percent of the current moose population in WMU E.  \n“Moose are abundant in WMU E with significantly higher population density than in any other part of the state\,” said Nick Fortin\, Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s moose project leader.  “Moose are the primary host for winter ticks\, and higher moose densities support high numbers of winter ticks which negatively impact moose health and survival.”  \nLottery applications for hunting permits are $10 for residents and $25 for nonresidents.  The deadline to apply is June 18.  Winners of the permit lottery will purchase resident hunting permits for $100 and nonresident hunting permits for $350.  \nHunters who held a permit within the past five years are not eligible to apply for a permit or to buy a bonus point.  Applicants must continue to annually submit a moose permit application if they wish to retain their past bonus permits and accumulate subsequent bonus points. \nFive permits will be available to Vermont military veterans\, three permits will be available for “Special Opportunity” recipients with life-threatening illnesses\, and three permits will be auctioned in accordance with regulations.  \nA drawing for permit winners is scheduled for Wednesday\, July15. \nThe 2025 Moose Season Recommendation and related information about moose research and management are available on Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s website.

SUMMARY:Vermont's Free Fishing Day (no license required)
DESCRIPTION:MONTPELIER\, Vt. –Vermont’s annual\, statewide Summer Free Fishing Day is Saturday\, June 14 this year\, and it will be highlighted by a free family fishing festival in Grand Isle as well as opening day of the state’s regular bass fishing season. \n“Vermont’s Free Fishing Day gives resident and nonresident anglers the opportunity to go fishing without a license for the day in Vermont lakes and streams\,” said Fish and Wildlife Interim Commissioner Andrea Shortsleeve.  “Free Fishing Day is a great opportunity for an experienced angler to be a mentor to friends who have not gone fishing before.  A day on the water could lead to a lifetime of great experiences and healthy local food.” \nDesigned for young or novice anglers and families\, this exciting event offers a variety of activities to participate in — including basic fishing instruction\, fish biology and ID\, crafts and lure making\, and more.  It also includes a chance for participants to catch big trout in a hatchery pond.  No prior fishing experience is needed\, and Vermont Fish and Wildlife will be supplying fishing rods\, reels and bait for use by participants.

SUMMARY:Deadline for Submitting Public Comment on 2025 Moose Permit Allocation
DESCRIPTION:The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department has proposed issuing 180 moose hunting permits in Vermont’s Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) E in the northeastern corner of the state in a continued effort to reduce the impact of winter ticks on moose in that area.  No permits are recommended for the rest of the state.  This is the same permit allocation that was approved by the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Board in 2024 and 2023. \nThe proposal was given initial approval by the Fish and Wildlife Board at its February 19 meeting and is now available for public comment. \nThe goal of the department’s 2025 moose harvest recommendation is to improve the health of moose in WMU-E by reducing the number of moose and thereby reducing the abundance and impact of winter ticks.  \n“Moose are abundant in WMU-E with significantly higher population density than in any other part of the state\,” said Nick Fortin\, Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s moose project leader.  “The higher moose density supports high numbers of winter ticks which negatively impact moose health and survival.”  \nOngoing monitoring of moose health in WMU-E shows the population continues to be negatively impacted by winter ticks.  Birth rates are low\, and many calves do not survive their first winter. \n“Research has shown that lower moose densities support relatively few winter ticks that do not impact moose populations\,” said Fortin.  “Reducing moose density decreases the number of available hosts which in turn decreases the number of winter ticks on the landscape.” \nThe department would issue 80 either-sex moose hunting permits and 100 antlerless moose permits in WMU-E for the moose seasons this October.  This is expected to result in a harvest of about 86 moose\, or about 10 percent of the moose population in WMU-E.  \n“This permit recommendation represents a continued attempt to address winter tick impacts on moose in WMU-E\,” added Fortin.  “Given the poor health of the moose population in that area and a clearly identified cause\, we need to take action to address this issue.  Without intervention to reduce the moose population\, high tick loads will continue to impact the health of moose in that region for many years.” \n“Department staff\, including lead moose biologist Nick Fortin and Research Manager Dr. Katherina Gieder\, brought incredible scientific expertise to this recommendation\,” said Interim Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Andrea Shortsleeve.  “The proposal our board vetted and approved was informed by years of field research and sophisticated statistical analyses that have been featured in peer reviewed publications alongside results from sister efforts in Maine and New Hampshire.” \nThe 2025 Moose Harvest Recommendation and information about the moose study are available on Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s website.  From the Home page\, click on Hunt and then Moose. \nComments may be provided until March 31 by emailing ANR.FWPublicComment@vermont.gov.
