Vermont Youth Hunting Day
Outdoors Magazine
The Fish & Wildlife Department reminds hunters that Vermont's Youth Deer
Hunting Day is Sunday, November 4.
“Some hunters are asking if Vermont’s youth hunt is just on the one day,”
said John Hall, outreach coordinator. “The way the law reads, Vermont's
Youth Deer Hunting Day is on the Sunday before the opening weekend of the
November deer hunting season.”
Young resident hunters who qualify can obtain youth deer hunting tag
applications from license agents.
Anyone under 16 years of age who has successfully completed a hunter
education course, and who has at least one parent or guardian who is a legal
resident of Vermont may get a youth deer hunting tag. The hunter safety
course certificate must be shown when the application is presented to the
license agent. The parent or guardian must also sign the application.
The young hunter must also have a valid Vermont hunting license and be
accompanied while hunting by an unarmed adult over 18 years of age who holds
a valid Vermont hunting license. A youth hunting license costs $8.00. The
adult may take up to two young hunters out at a time.
Landowner permission is mandatory on private land before hunting with a
Youth Deer Hunting Tag. The tag is good for one deer of either sex only on
November 4.
State game wardens remind the hunter who is going to be taking a young
person out on November 4 that they are a role model who will always be
remembered. Teach respect for the landowner, safety at all times, the best
of ethics, and obey the law.
The two offenses that brought the most complaints on previous Youth Deer
Hunting Days were "hunting without permission" and "road hunting." Help
ensure that youth hunting opportunities such as this one continue in the
years ahead by communicating to other hunters how important it is that these
offenses do not occur.
Hall says page 42 of the Vermont hunting and fishing lawbook has a section
explaining all the details on Youth Deer Hunting Day.
