Changes to Permanent Hunting/Fishing Licenses Coming in 2017

The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department is reminding hunters and anglers of changes to permanent license laws that go into effect starting on January 1, 2017. A permanent hunting and fishing license is currently available to Vermont residents aged 65 and older for a one-time fee of $50. Starting January 1, 2017 the eligible age will be raised to 70 and the license will be free.
 
The department is urging hunters and anglers aged 65 to 68 who don't yet have a permanent license to purchase one before midnight on December 31. Eligible current 2016 license holders can purchase a permanent license in person at a license agent or Fish & Wildlife Department district office.
