 The Vermont Big Game Trophy Club will now be accepting applications for sponsorship to the Green Mountain Conservation Camps. Send us an email to be added to the draw pool. We have a very limited number of sponsorships this year so only a few will be chosen by random draw. Applications will be accepted until March 25, 2010.Vermont's conservation camp program is unique because it is sponsored and directed by Fish and Wildlife Department professionals-the same people who manage the fish and wildlife resources. Working biologists, foresters, game wardens and conservation educators teach young people about Vermont's forests, wetlands and wildlife. They give youth life skills and knowledge so they can continue the state's traditional rural pursuits-enjoying all aspects of the outdoor world. The program's greatest strength is connecting young people to the outdoors.

Huge bucks highlight first days of hunting season

Posted on November 19, 2009

ADDISON COUNTY — Unfavorable hunting conditions led to low numbers for the opening weekend of deer rifle season, but didn’t prevent two hunters from bagging the two biggest bucks taken this decade in Addison County during rifle season.

One, a 236-pound, eight-point buck shot by Shoreham’s Tommy Davis in his home town, tipped the scales at 10 pounds more than the largest deer killed in all of Vermont during any season in 2008. According to the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife Web site, the largest 2008 deer taken weighed 226 pounds and was shot in Jay.

Shoreham’s Mike Mulligan also took home a trophy buck, a 223-pounder with eight antler points also shot in Shoreham. Both animals were weighed in at Buxton’s Store in Orwell, and both exceeded the largest buck previously reported in the Independent this decade during rifle season, a 221-pounder killed by James Demilt in Lincoln in 2001.

Also, a third deer in excess of 200 pounds was killed this past weekend: Jonathan Audy shot an older, three-point buck in New Haven that tipped the Vermont Field Sports scales in Middlebury at 213 pounds.

Weigh station operators generally agree that 2005 regulations banning shooting “spikehorn” deer during the popular rifle season have given hunters more trophy targets.
