Vermont Moose

The first Vermont moose hunt held since 1896 was in 1993. Vermont moose hunting is by permit only, and only in designated areas. Moose hunting seasons are set annually in the spring. Moose hunting permits are awarded by lottery every summer. 10 percent of Vermont moose hunting permits are reserved for non-residents.
