Vermont Moose Hunting Permit Winners Are Drawn

MONTPELIER, Vt. -- The winners of Vermont's 2017 moose hunting permits were determined Saturday, July 29, at a lottery drawing at the Barre Fish and Game Club in Barre.

Governor Phil Scott activated the computer-generated selection process that randomly picked 80 winners from 4,971 lottery applicants.

The drawing is done by a random sort of applications that were submitted by a July 3 deadline.

Massachusett's resident Douglas Oakes Jr. North Adams and Connecticut resident Joseph Campbell of Moosup, Ct. will participate and NO Rhode Island winners in 2017 out the 4,971 entries.

As part of the regular lottery drawing, a "special priority drawing" was held for five permits to go to applicants who are Vermont resident veterans. The unsuccessful applicants from the veteran drawing were included in the larger regular drawing that followed. All applicants for both drawings who did not receive a permit were awarded a bonus point to improve their chances in future moose permit lotteries.

The lottery was held for 17 moose permits to be used in the Vermont's October 1-7 archery moose hunting season and 63 moose permits for the October 21-26 regular moose season.

"Today's lottery drawing helps celebrate one of Vermont's successes in science-based wildlife management," said State Wildlife Biologist Cedric Alexander. "Vermont's first moose hunt was in 1993, when 25 moose were taken with 30 permits issued. We expect close to 34 moose will be taken this fall in a carefully regulated hunt."

Winners in this year's moose hunting lottery are posted in a searchable database on the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department's website (www.vtfishandwildlife.com).

If your name wasn't drawn, you can still bid in Vermont's auction for five moose hunting permits, which is open until August 10. Sealed bids must be received by Vermont Fish & Wildlife by 4:30 p.m. that day. Contact the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department to receive a moose permit bid kit. Telephone 802-828-1190 or email (cheri.waters@state.vt.us).

Vermont has about 2,000 moose statewide with the greatest concentration in the Northeast Kingdom.
