Prominent Land Features

Vermont’s hunting country is defined by its classic New England terrain—rolling foothills giving way to the rugged Green Mountains, interspersed with mixed hardwood and softwood forests, open pastures, and productive river valleys. Elevations range from fertile lowland farmlands and wetlands dotted with beaver ponds to steep, forested ridgelines reaching over 4,000 feet. The patchwork of second-growth maple, oak, and pine stands, along with bordering agricultural fields and brushy edges, creates abundant cover and travel corridors for deer, turkey, bear, and other game. A network of old logging roads, maintained trails, small lakes, and streams adds both access and variety, making Vermont a diverse and rewarding landscape for both seasoned hunters and newcomers alike.

Amenities

Vermont hunts typically base out of rustic lodges, renovated farmhouses, or canvas wall-tent camps tucked into the heart of the Green Mountains. Accommodations offer a comfortable blend of wilderness authenticity and basic comforts, with options ranging from private cabins and bunkhouses to small communal lodges. Sleeping arrangements include single beds or bunkbeds in cabins, and cots or camp beds in tent camps. Heating is provided by wood-burning stoves, propane heaters, or electric baseboard units to ensure warmth on cool mornings and evenings. During warmer late-summer and early-fall hunts, camps rely on natural ventilation and fans rather than air conditioning, maintaining a simple setup focused on easy access to prime hunting terrain.
