Hunting
Vermont has more than 800,000 acres of conserved wildlife habitat open to public hunting. White tailed deer, black bear, moose, and wild turkeys are abundant in suitable habitat. Snowshoe hare, cottontail rabbit, gray squirrels, ruffled goose, woodcock, ducks and geese are also plentiful. Hunting is allowed on Sundays.
Licenses are sold statewide as well as online at Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department. We try to keep a copy of the Vermont Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Guide on file in our lobby.

Lake Champlain alone has a surface area of 435 square miles with challenging fishing for salmon, lake trout, steelhead rainbows, largemouth and smallmouth bass, northern pike, walleyes and more. Brook, brown and rainbow trout abound for stream fishing throughout the state. Detailed maps and information about the fish found in specific lakes and streams are included in the Vermont Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Guide available from the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department.
