Vermont
residents will get a chance to weigh in on a new proposed rule to regulate
public activities on land owned by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department.
Vermont’s rifle deer hunting season has started. The 16-day season runs from Saturday through Sunday, Nov. 27. Vermont’s deer population is about 123,000 this year, which is about 10 percent fewer than last year.
The second part
of Vermont’s archery season for deer begins Saturday, and state
wildlife officials say hunters are seeing more big, older bucks thanks to
antler restrictions begun four years ago.
VPR’s Jane Lindholm talks with author Marc Boglioli and former Burlington Free Press Outdoors editor Matt Crawford about the tradition of hunting in Vermont.
We explore the traditions and culture of
hunting-how it reflects our rural heritage, how it influences environmental conservation, and
how our attitudes have changed. Also, we hear ideas on how to improve child care.
