Youth waterfowl hunting weekend set for Sept. 23-24

A youngster’s first hunt can mark the beginning of a lifelong passion for the outdoors and a commitment to wildlife conservation, and youth waterfowl hunt weekend is designed to do just that. 

This year’s youth waterfowl hunt will take place the weekend of Sept. 24 and 25. Hunters 17 years of age or younger may hunt ducks and geese in the Lake Champlain and Interior Vermont waterfowl hunting zones on those dates.
