MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Vermont’s 16-day rifle deer hunting season is coming to a close, but hunters still have another opportunity to bag a deer.
The rifle season ends Sunday afternoon. But from Dec. 1 to Dec. 9 people will get an opportunity to hunt with muzzleloaders and bows and arrows.
A muzzleloader hunter may take one legal buck anywhere in the state. In addition, a hunter who received a muzzleloader antlerless deer permit may take one antlerless deer in the Wildlife Management Unit designated on the permit.
An archery hunter may take a legal buck, provided they didn’t take one in the October archery season. An archery hunter may take an antlerless deer anywhere.
A legal buck is a deer with at least one antler having two or more points one inch or longer.
