Hunting the Green Mountains

Hunting opportunities abound in Vermont. White-tailed deer, black bear, moose, wild turkey, ruffed grouse, woodcock, waterfowl, and snowshoe hare hunting are all popular in the fall. Few states can match the experience of a Vermont hunt, which includes the legendary scenery of the Green Mountain State.

Finding a place to hunt in Vermont is easy, with more than 800,000 acres of conserved wildlife habitat open to public hunting.

Hunting in Vermont is now being rediscovered by Vermonters and visitors alike as a way to learn about the natural world, the local environment, and wildlife. Vermont’s youth hunting programs make it easy, fun, and exciting for the whole family to get involved in the tradition and heritage of a Vermont hunt.

Additional information on planning a Vermont hunting trip can be found through the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department or Vermont Outdoor Guides Association.
