“Effective November 10, 2020, the State of Vermont is requiring anyone traveling to Vermont from another state to complete a 14-day quarantine before participating in any activities outside of a home or dwelling, including hunting, fishing and other outdoor recreation pursuits.”
Now releasing that less than 4 days before the rifle season how many people do you think from northern mass, NH NY etc have already purchased licenses, struggled to get time off with Covid to deer hunt areas they’ve hunted for many years are there.
Let’s put this in perspective, say you’re one of the many people in this state that hunt numerous states, or are just starting out and have someone who wants to be introduced to the outdoors with your guidance and are from another state. How would you feel if the roles were reversed? None of us love seeing an out of state plate near an area we hunt but at the same time that’s how we are thought of when we go hunt a second, third or more states...
I want to get every true outdoorsman who understands there’s no better place to be in this time of “crisis” than 20’ up, 2 miles in or many miles hiked to sign this petition and send it off to Mr Phil Scott to make him realize he’s restricting the wrong thing!

Outdoor recreation is the best example of social distancing while still enjoying what little we have left to do.
I'm a nh resident right across the border.i could legit shoot a deer in vt from my front porch. But now I can't go hunt where I got started.
I pay over $200 for my license in VT. And I hunt alone! This is out of the question!
I am lucky in that I had the opportunity to start pre-quarantine early. Not all have this luxury. Hunting it one of the few activities where you can have next to no contact with anyone. Why is this the stand we are making. Many have bought licenses and will hunt regardless of this last minute rule change
Completely agree, and not just in license fees. There is stand costs, labor hours, food plots if they did one, taxes for a camp/land. Time to get land owner permission etc.... the list could go on
Couldn't agree with this more. I'm probably not hunting vermont anyhow but governors are not dictators. It is unconstitutional to restrict or hinder interstate travel for any reason. Second thought, I might just go out of spite.
the governor does not have this power

If it was ok for our state to be overrun with leaf peepers then the nine resident hunters are welcome!
