The antlerless muzzleloader permit will be printed on your license when you purchase your license or may print on a second page depending on when you purchase your license.
REMINDER: You must have a valid Vermont hunting license and a muzzleloader license in addition to your antlerless deer permit. The permit entitles you to take one antlerless deer from the Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) listed on your permit using a muzzleloader firearm during either the four-day muzzleloader antlerless deer season (October 31– Nov 3, 2024) or during the December muzzleloader deer season (December 7- 15, 2024).
If you have already purchased a license, you will need to reprint your license to receive your antlerless muzzleloader permit. Licenses can be reprinted online, at any local agent or any district office.
