"There's no better time than Vermont."

The tradition of hunting in Vermont goes back to before the state was founded. Vermont was the first state to protects its citizens’ right to hunt. Primarily a rural state with a mix of farmland and forests, it is home to a wide variety of game. Guide services, outfitters, retail shops and lodges are available throughout the state.
