Vermont · Deer · 2026

This is the rut modelled for Vermont as a whole. A pin moves the peak to your own latitude — up to three days across a state.

Modelled from Vermont breeding dates at the middle of the state, 43.87°N. It says nothing about whether a season is open or your tags cover it.

Vermont deer seasons, 2026

Vermont’s 2026 deer seasons run September 15, 2026 to December 15, 2026, and what is open on a given day depends on the wildlife management unit your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the wildlife management unit off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.
