Hunters, landowners and anyone else interested in deer and moose should plan on attending one of the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department public hearings being held in March.
The first three hearings will include results of 2019 deer seasons and prospects for hunting next fall as well as an opportunity for people to provide observations and opinions about deer and the proposed 2020 moose hunt to improve the health of moose in Wildlife Management Unit E in the northeastern corner of Vermont and provide opportunity for public comment. The last hearing on March 26 will only be about deer.
The hearings are scheduled for 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. as follows:
