Vermont Fish and Wildlife Board

| Legal Authority: |
10 V.S.A. § 4082(a), 10 V.S.A. § 4084 |
| Summary:
| The proposed rule amendments include technical and substantive changes, including updated langauge related to moose permit allocation through the auction to bring the rule language in compliance with statute, the creation of a Special Opportunity Season concurrent with the current archery season to allow Special Opportunity permit holders to hunt with a gun during this time period, the extension of the regular season from six to nine days, and technical changes for consistency and clarity. |
| Persons Affected:
| Hunters and their families, Department staff including wardens; Vermonter's eligible for Special Opportunity permits; and businesses that sell hunting equipment. |

| The rule proposes to extend the regular moose season, which may result in a nominal economic benefit to businesses that sell hunting equipment and businesses patronized by moose hunters during the season. In particular, lodging establishments in and around Essex County may experience a nominal economic benefit as a result of the extended season. |
