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 26 – Oct 29, 2023) or during the December muzzleloader deer season (December 2- 10, 2023).

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.

*If you are a landowner you may hunt on your own property without a hunting or muzzleloader license.
