Hunting
Hunting and Trapping Opportunities
Vermont is one of the most rural states in the country, and Vermonters have a proud heritage of living close to the land. Hunting and trapping are highly regulated and provide a way to connect with the land, connect with nature, and connect with a healthy, sustainable food source.
Annual Trapping Activity Report
Every trapper licensed in Vermont is required to submit an annual report of their trapping activity. These annual reports help the department monitor furbearer harvest and trappers’ effort.
Vermont Habitat Stamp
Funds raised from sales of Vermont Habitat Stamps go to the Species and Habitat Conservation Fund and is used to purchase and manage wildlife habitat in Vermont.
Big Game Reporting
Vermont hunters who take deer, bear or turkeys must report them within 48 hours by bringing them to a reporting station or by using one of our online reporting options.
