Vermont Hunting & Fishing

Vermont is small, green, and genuinely wild in its uplands, offering a traditional New England hunting and fishing experience. Hunting guides in Vermont work the hardwood ridges of the Green Mountains for whitetail deer, a respected big-woods hunt, plus black bear, wild turkey, and a lottery-drawn moose hunt in the Northeast Kingdom. The state's strong land-access tradition keeps much of the countryside open to hunters.

Fishing in Vermont centers on cold lakes and streams. Lake Champlain, shared with New York, is a nationally ranked bass fishery that also holds lake trout, landlocked salmon, and northern pike, with guides working its varied water. Mountain streams and the Battenkill River hold wild brook and brown trout. For anglers and hunters who value tradition and scenery over crowds, Vermont delivers a quiet, high-quality experience.
