BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – The new year isn’t here yet, but Vermonters can already snag a fishing, hunting, or trapping license for 2025.
Money from each license purchased goes towards nature and wildlife conservation efforts. You must have a license to hunt, fish, or trap in the state.
Buying a license early means you can get out there for things like ice fishing right on January 1st.
“The other thing that we know drives the new year, the start of the new year, sales [are] people buying licenses with our gift certification option for family members who hunt and fish,” Josh Morse, with Vermont Fish and Wildlife, said. “So, it’s a good time to give a license as a gift also.”
