The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Board voted last Wednesday to have 80 either-sex moose hunting permits and 100 antlerless moose hunting permits available this year for a hunt limited to Vermont’s Wildlife Management Unit E in the northeastern corner of the state. The science-based hunt is expected to result in a harvest of about 94 moose, or about 10 percent of the current moose population in WMU E.
Permit applications are now available on the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department’s website.
