Seminar

Having Hunters On Your Land Public Seminar: 6:30 – 8:30 pm, Thursday October 3, 2019, Richmond Public Library, RIchmond VT

Hunting can be a great tool to help landowners who have too many deer munching their forest seedlings, landscape plants, and gardens. However, having hunters on your property can be intimidating, particularly if you are not familiar with hunting or have had problems with hunters in the past. Join other landowners and staff from Vermont Fish & Wildlife and VLT for an evening discussion at the Richmond Town Library about allowing hunting on your land. This event is co-sponsored by Vermont Coverts and Vermont Fish & Wildlife. A similar event will be held on October 10 in Brattleboro. For more information on this event contact Pieter van Loon by email at pieter@vlt.org or at (802) 246-1502. https://www.vlt.org/event/having-hunters-chittenden

This seminar will be instructed by State Game Warden Maj. George Scribner.  He will teach the skill of field dressing and processing deer.

Date: October 9, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.

Location: The Agency of Natural Resources Annex Building, 190 Junction Road, Berlin, VT.

Hunting can be a valuable tool for private land conservation but managing hunters can be intimidating, particularly if you are not familiar with hunting.  To help, the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department is holding a free seminar in Manchester for landowners interested in learning more about hunting and managing hunter access.

Co-hosted by the nonprofit Vermont Coverts, department staff will introduce you to what hunting is and is not, review landowner rights and the laws governing hunting, and provide a forum to discuss concerns about hunters and hunting on your property. 

The seminar will be held on Tuesday, October 2 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Orvis Fly Fishing School at 4169 Main St, Manchester Center, VT 05255. The building is across the street from the Orvis flagship store.

“While everyone is welcome, this seminar is designed for new landowners and those with limited experience with hunters and hunting,” said Chris Saunders of the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department.  “We’ll address many of the facts and myths about hunting and hunters and we won’t shy away from the real concerns some landowners have with public access.” 

Pre-registration is not required.  For more information, contact Chris Saunders at chris.saunders@vermont.gov or (802)343-5487.

October 17 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Mountain Deer Taxidermy, 1308 Loop Road, Northfield Vt.
