Vermont hunting, fishing and trapping licenses for 2017 will be available on Dec. 12.
“Vermonters really enjoy hunting and fishing,” said Vermont Fish & Wildlife Commissioner Louis Porter. “Many people like to purchase their new licenses before Jan. 1 so they will be ready to go ice fishing.”
According to a federal survey, Vermonters rank first among residents of the lower 48 states when it comes to participating in fish and wildlife recreation—with 62 percent of Vermonters going fishing, hunting or wildlife watching, and they lead in the New England states in hunting and fishing with 26 percent of residents participating in one or both.
