Christian Eaton, of Williamstown, 23, sights in his rifle for hunting season as his grandfather Eugene LaPerle, of Barre, looks on at the Chelsea Fish and Game Club in Chelsea, Vt., on Tuesday, Oct. 19, 2021. Now if a shot misses, “we know it’s us and it isn’t the gun,” said LaPerle. “If everyone hit everything they shot at, there’d be nothing left.” he said. Vermont’s rifle season for deer runs from Nov. 13 to Nov. 28, and New Hampshire’s season is from Nov. 10 to Dec. 5. (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News.

Getting ready for hunting season

by Staff Report October 26, 2021

Chris McGrody, left, of Enfield, N.H., hunts pheasant with his son, Nate McGrody, 15, and their three-year-old black lab Huck at the Mascoma River Wildlife Management Area in Canaan, N.H., on Thursday, Oct. 14, 2021. This was Nate's first time hunting pheasant with his father, and though the pair didn't take home any birds, Chris was happy that Nate got to come out and see Huck in action. Sometimes you get something, he said, and "sometimes it's just a walk through a field with your dog." (Valley News / Report For America - Alex Driehaus) Copyright Valley News.

Editorial: Changes Threaten Vermont Deer, Forests

by Staff Report October 6, 2018

Dave Mayo, of Cornish, N.H., examines the paws and claws of a bobcat he hunted earlier in the day with his bluetick hound Jenny, held by Mayo's brother John, in Windsor, Vt., Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2018. The 33 pound cat was shot in Cavendish, Vt., and Mayo stopped to show his brother before selling it to a taxidermist on the second-to-last day of bobcat season. "This is a cat that I've probably ran before and never got him," said Mayo, who gets a license to hunt bobcat in Vermont because New Hampshire closed its season on the animals in the early 1980s. A proposal by New Hampshire Fish and Game to hold an annual lottery for 50 bobcat hunting permits was withdrawn in the spring of 2016 due to objections from legislators. Vermont, Maine and Massachusetts permit bobcat hunting, and in Vermont, hunters must turn over the carcass of the animal to Fish and Wildlife biologists for study after it has been skinned.

Brousseau said he sets his traps to catch coyotes and fisher cats for their hide. "This is a kill trap for the fisher cats," he said to distinguish them from the traps he uses for coyotes. "I'll let a coyote go if it's too small." (Valley News - Charles Hatcher) Copyright Valley News. May not be reprinted or used online without permission. Send requests to permission@vnews.com.
