MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - A Bridport man will be entitled to hunt and fish for free in Vermont for life.

Fifty-six-year-old David Girard has won the 2016 Vermont lifetime hunting and fishing license lottery.

He was drawn as the winner from among more than 10,000 lottery tickets bought in 2016.



The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department holds the drawing each year.

The department says sales of the $2 tickets brought in more than $20,000 for fish and wildlife conservation in the state.
