Vermont’s moose
hunt auction is open
Vermont’s auction for three moose hunting permits
is open until 4:30 p.m. Aug. 12. Bids will be opened and
winners notified on Aug. 13.
The Vermont Fish and Wildlife board authorized a total
of 55 permits for the 2020 moose season. Auction winners
of three of those permits will hunt in Wildlife Management
Unit E in the northeast corner of the state during the
October 1-7 archery season, or in the October 17-22 regular
season.
Bids must be entered with a sealed bid form available
from Vermont Fish and Wildlife.
A minimum bid of $1,500 is required, and winning bids
have typically been at least $4,000 when the number of
“Research has shown that lower
moose densities, like in the rest
of Vermont, support relatively few
winter ticks that do not impact
moose populations,” said Fortin.
permits available were higher. Bids do not include the cost
of a hunting license (residents $28, nonresidents $102) or
moose hunting permit fee ($100 for residents and $350 for
nonresidents). Proceeds from the moose hunting permit
auction help fund Vermont Fish and Wildlife educational
programs.
“Moose density in WMU E, where the hunt will occur, is
more than one moose per square mile, significantly higher
than any other part of the state,” said Nick Fortin, Vermont
Fish and Wildlife’s biologist in charge of the moose project.
“Moose densities greater than one per square mile support
high numbers of winter ticks which negatively impact
moose health and survival.”
“Research has shown that lower moose densities, like in
the rest of Vermont, support relatively few winter ticks that
do not impact moose populations,” said Fortin. “Reducing
moose density decreases the number of available hosts
which in turn decreases the number of winter ticks on the
landscape. The goal is to improve the health of moose in
WMU E by reducing the impact of winter ticks.”
Moose permit bid packets can be obtained by calling
Fish and Wildlife at 802-828-1190 or by emailing Cheri.
