VT ruffed grouse hunting season to begin


Vermont’s hunting season for ruffed grouse or “partridge,” is September 27 through December 31 this year.

MONTPELIER - A quiet walk down a hidden woods road, bright fall foliage coloring the canopy overhead and the crisp, cool air of an early morning -- these are just some of the elements of a great Vermont upland game bird hunting experience.  Hoping to see the dramatic flush of a grouse or woodcock is, of course, another reason hunters try to get out into Vermont woodlands in the fall.
Vermont’s hunting season for ruffed grouse or “partridge,” is Saturday, September 27 through Wednesday, December 31.  The daily limit is four grouse with a possession limit of eight.
