RANDOLPH, Vt – Interested in cooking up locally sourced grouse, squirrel or rabbit in your kitchen this fall? Vermont Fish and Wildlife will be holding a "Small Game Hunting with Dogs" seminar focusing on bird, rabbit and squirrel hunting.

The seminar will take place on Saturday, June 17, 2017 from, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Randolph Fish & Game Club in Randolph, VT.
