Following the annual permit lottery for muzzleloader antlerless deer permits Sept. 17, Vermont Fish & Wildlife now has several thousand unallocated antlerless deer permits available to hunters.
The permits may be used during the Dec. 7-15 muzzleloader deer season. The unallocated permits are available because not enough people applied for them in the lottery.
These permits can be purchased for $10 on the department website on a first come, first served basis.
A person who won a permit in the lottery may not purchase a second permit unless they take a deer with their first permit in the December season, and then only if they have not reached their three-deer annual limit or two-deer muzzleloader season limit.
