Hunters are looking forward to Vermont’s upcoming October 1- November 15 and December 2-15 archery deer hunting season.
A hunter may take up to four deer in Vermont’s two-part archery season if they do not shoot any deer in the other deer seasons, Vermont Fish and Wildlife says.
The purchase of an archery deer license and tag is required for each deer. No more than one of the deer taken during archery season may be a legal buck if no buck is taken in the other deer seasons. Antlerless deer hunting is allowed during archery season statewide this year.
Hunters must have a standard hunting license in order to purchase an add-on archery deer hunting license, except that nonresidents may purchase an “archery only deer license” costing $75.
Licenses may be quickly and easily purchased on Fish and Wildlife’s website (www.vtfishandwildlife.com).
The 2023 Deer Harvest Report from Fish and Wildlife has the number of deer taken in each town in last year’s deer hunting seasons.
For more information and a summary of regulations, download the 2024 Deer Seasons Guide from Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s website, or pick up a free copy of the 2024 Hunting &Trapping Guide from any license agent or highway rest area.

Taking four deer in a season is a glut. I can think of two leg animals that should be taken. What next a season to take even more with pea shooters or poison darts using blow guns? Perhaps with the high number of deer that can be harvested, they must be a danger to people.
Seems this is one way to fund the pay increases, allow more deer being shot hence more money for licenses and permits by the F&G. It’s all government money.
The fish and wildlife group need more money with more fees and the deer are only another money source. The rules make it harder not to break their laws.
