Use caution, common sense during hunting season

VERMONT - With rifle season underway, Forest Service officials on the Green Mountain National Forest  are encouraging the public to use caution and to be visible and mindful of their surroundings in the coming weeks.  Officials want to remind hunters and other forest users that almost the entire 400,000 plus acre National Forest is open for hunting, the only exceptions are developed recreation sites such as campgrounds and day use areas, or any areas that would be in violation of state laws.
