With youth deer weekend just around the corner, young hunters are encouraged to take to the field to hone their skills and to also help Vermont Fish & Wildlife biologists by reporting their deer at one of 23 biological check stations around the state. Youth deer hunting weekend helps ensure that young hunters get the quality training they need for lifelong participation, and it also provides biological information needed to manage the herd into the future. The biological check stations listed below will be open from 9 am to 8:30 pm on November 8 and 9.

Vermont moose hunters had a successful hunting season according to the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. A record bull was taken in the October 1-7 archery moose hunt, and the regular moose hunting season was October 18-23.
"A preliminary count shows that by October 28 the department had received official reports of 22 moose being taken by 54 hunters in the archery season and 147 moose taken by 289 hunters in the regular season," said Cedric Alexander, Vermont's moose project leader. He said a few additional reports may still be sent in from other reporting agents.
