                         Vermont Ponders Moose Hunting
                    ---------------------------------------
    
    Montpelier,Vt. (AP)- The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Board will consider a
    proposal this week to allow limited hunting of moose next fall. The
    reccomendation is part of a five-year moose management plan that the
    Dept. of Fish & Wildlife has been developing for almost a year.
                 In the course of its study, the department concluded that
    "the maximum numbers of moose that can co-exsist compatibly with the
    local human population in Essex county has been reached or exceeded."
                 John Hall, a spokesman for the dept. said, "The proposed
    five-year management plan calls for the issuance of 30 huning permits
    for an area in the Northeast Kingdom that includes part of Essex
    county." The proposed hunting season would be Oct. 19-21.
                 Hall said 30 permits was a conservative number. This fall,
    the moose population in Vermont was estimated at between 1,100 & 1,500.
    The plan, he said, is the result of several public hearings.

1235.1badly neededBTOVT::WENER_RTue Dec 22 1992 08:208
    
    	Let's hope this gets through this year...  While hunting out of 
    Al Sears' dads camp in Bloomfield (Essex county) the first weekend of
    Vermonts rifle season, I saw 11 moose on Saturday alone!!!  There are
    easily as many moose in this area of Vermont as there are in the
    Jackman area of Maine, probably more.
    	With idiots like Ralph Wright in the Vermont house, who knows what 
    will happen though....  The guy needs a lobotomy.
1235.2one more reason to go north!HEFTY::CHARBONNDmay _your_ dog talkTue Dec 22 1992 21:582
    Fingers crossed, this would be great! Will out-of-staters be allowed
    to apply?
1235.3only 30 permits...BTOVT::REMILLARD_KWed Dec 23 1992 07:309
    
    re .2
    
    Don't know...but with 30 permits...chances wouldn't be too good. 
    Yesterday the F&W board approved the season, it still has to go to the
    Legislature.  Green Mountain Animal Defenders say they will block the
    hunt.  Time to squash this group now!!!

 You're better off hunting moose in NH as an out of stater. If the proposed
325 permits are issued, there will be more available to out of staters than
the entire number of permits issued in Vermont.
1235.5extra permits for Coos County residents onlySALEM::MACGREGORMon Dec 28 1992 08:296
    I heard but don't know how true it is, that the extra permits given out
    this year in N.H. are going to Coos County residents only. The stat
    Government figures that by not allowing Coos residents to have clamming
    or lobster permits will make up for the difference. Sounds like a bad
    trade to me!
