Lottery applications for hunting permits are $10 for residents and $25 for nonresidents. The deadline to apply is July 8. Winners of the permit lottery will purchase resident hunting permits for $100 and nonresident hunting permits for $350.
Nonresident applicants are cautioned that although the current “Stay Home Stay Safe” directive and other travel restrictions, which includes self-quarantine requirements for nonresidents, are currently in place until May 15, this directive could be extended into the fall moose hunting season or expanded upon if required as a result of COVID-19. Nonresident applicants are encouraged to consider this before applying as permits issued in 2020 will not be held to the following 2021 hunting season.
Hunters who held a permit within the past five years are not eligible to apply for a permit or to buy a bonus point. Also, although a “bonus point freeze” was in place for the 2018 and 2019 moose seasons, due to limited or no moose permits being available for those years, that is no longer in place and applicants must continue to annually submit a moose permit application if they wish to retain their past bonus permits and accumulate subsequent bonus points.
By law, five permits will be available to Vermont military veterans and up to three permits will be available for “Special Opportunity” recipients with life-threatening illnesses, and three permits will be auctioned in accordance with regulations.
- Moose Archery Season (October 1 – 7): 10 permits
- Moose Regular Season (October 17 – 22): 39 permits (34 lottery | 5 VT Veterans)
Bonus Points: Remember, you gain points each year you apply, increasing your odds of being drawn. But you lose all your points if you don't apply for a year. So even if you don't plan on hunting this year, put in for a permit and click "Bonus Point Only."
