Vermont's Spring Turkey Hunting: The Best in New England
This past Friday marked the start of the VT turkey hunting season and according to the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department VT offers some of the best turkey hunting in New England. What gives VT the bragging rights? Well to list a few reasons: turkey hunting is statewide during the entire spring season, the state's turkey population is one of the highest in New England, hunters can purchase a turkey hunting license without having to go through a lottery and the license includes two spring tags for two bearded birds and one tag for a turkey of either sex in the fall season. Wait there’s more—am I sounding like the Sham-wow guy yet?—plus, you get to hunt the entire weekend, because hunting is allowed on Sundays. Wait there’s more: In eight of the last 11 years VT hunters have established new spring turkey harvest records. In 2008, hunters took a record 5,454 turkeys in both the youth weekend and regular seasons. So order your license now. What are you waiting for?
