Planning a hunt in Vermont

Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s Find a Place to Hunt resources help you choose a destination and reach its relevant property information. Identify the manager and named area before drawing a route from a nearby road.

Keep public ownership separate from permission when researching the surrounding landscape. Confirm access across any intervening land and check current property information alongside Vermont’s hunting regulations. Save a parking pin, property name and official map so the plan remains understandable when viewed offline later.

Check the property and the route

Read the property's current rules, closures and permit requirements. Confirm parking and every part of the approach; a public parcel can be surrounded by private land. A road or path visible on imagery is not proof of public access. Resolve uncertain boundaries with the managing agency.

Use with Free Hunting Map

Open Layers and enable relevant PAD-US public-land manager categories. Compare topo and aerial imagery, mark verified parking and save notes for the spots you plan to check. PAD-US is a planning aid, not a legal boundary or hunting-permission map; parcel coverage in the app is limited to Wisconsin.

View your approach at the zoom levels you need and test the cached map offline before leaving. Keep official property maps and rules with your trip materials.
