Looking for a “wild” family-based adventure for Halloween this year? The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department is inviting families to attend the sixth annual Halloween Wildlife Festival and Jack-o’Lantern Hike at the Kehoe Education Center on Point of Pines Road in Castleton. The event takes place on Friday, October 26, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Vermont is increasingly recognized as a wild turkey hunting destination. With its near perfect mix of fields, farms and forests, Vermont is home to some of the best turkey hunting opportunities New England has to offer.

Deer hunters who applied for a Vermont muzzleloader season antlerless deer permit by the August 29 deadline can now go to the Vermont Fish & Wildlife website (www.vtfishandwildlife.com) to see if they won a permit.

Waterfowl hunters who will have retrieving dogs with them during Vermont’s waterfowl hunting seasons should check waterbodies for cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae) blooms before allowing their dogs in the water according to the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources.
