I could go on for hours about this topic.

I try to understand how many people moving in think that hunting, trapping, and shooting are nonexistent or banned in Vermont. Or even worse, decided they should be. Are we portrayed as one large quaint suburb dotted with hip cities? We're more than wine tastings, VPR tapings, and "hobby farms" that are really just estates with a tax break. If you want tightly controlled suburbs, why not consider western Massachusetts and CT? No unleashed dogs or unenlightened rural people to ruin the vibe there.

I can’t advise against this strongly enough in the NEK. Not only is it illegal and you would be liable for damages on what maybe a several thousand dollar hunting dog, but it’s likely to get you hurt. Your option is to call a Game Warden.

That’s a bold move Cotton… shooting someone’s $$$$$ registered and trained dog will likely not work out very well for you.

To pretend that this rich DC prick has “livestock” is just dumb. He has a farm so he can be an internet attention whore. He isn’t a farmer, he doesn’t need the animals, he isn’t homesteading. He has some ducks that he posts videos of online, and has convinced people that he is a real farmer. He moved from suburbia to buy farmland in VT and then immediately started to impose his DC agenda on the state. I’m progressive as they come when it comes to human rights, but for fuck sake, why come to a state and try to limit the freedom of the locals?

Also worth noting a typical bear dog is probably better trained than your typical 6 year old child. So sure these hounds ran onto his UNPOSTED land in pursuit of a bear, but they were no risk to any of his animals unless he was illegally keeping bears enclosed.

The VAST majority of hunters will respect your no trespass sign whether or not it’s properly posted.

There is an early season where you can let your dogs hunt, but are not allowed to harvest the animal. It’s allows for training of the dogs.

You can not shoot a dog chasing a deer. A game warden can, but a normal person can not.

People moving in seem to think that hunting, trapping, and shooting are banned in Vermont? It's absolutely surreal. The outside idea of the state is so different from the actual state of VT that it's mind-boggling.

I am not a hunter or was a brought up hunting. Yet I respect everything you said. If people want to responsibly follow their passions, whatever that might be, I applaud them for it. I am a bit wary of dogs though since I have been bit before. So I understand the trepidation of the original post.

Hello how are you where you located? I'm from Manhattan new York City Dominican

Their sandwiches are better than anything you can get anywhere remotely nearby. Far from mediocre.

Gravy Sponge for the win!

Silver Lake in Barnard - you can rent stuff there or bring your own.

Keep your walking drooling shit factory on your own land and there wont be any problems,lol.

Agreed. It’s one of those laws they don’t plan on enforcing, but gets people to engage a bit more actively with their waste stream. And it can actually cut down on food costs when you notice what foods you’re wasting.

Hell yeah!

I power it with my BLUETTI solar generator that is recharged by eco flo panels

The owner is a wook an absolute douche nozel, don’t support him in anyway. Charges $28 for a cheese pie that’s burnt, runny, and acts like he’s gods gift to earth for moving here from Pennsylvania. His food is overinflated garbage for hipsters.

Also he steals tips from employees and demands you pay a %25 tip for takeout.

Try their BLT too, half pound of bacon every time. My coworkers and I stop here on the reg

Nah Trash and recycling is included in the rent for my places, so I basically hoard the Compost and drop it off monthly. I think composting is an actually helpful thing for the environment (recycling... IDK) , isn't too much of a hassle, and think in VT theres a decent number of places that make it easy ish. Still, not gonna shame anyone who doesn't

Maybe $2. The Lyndonville transfer station also accepts other things like TV's for free, that the ST J one doesn't. Also, I usually do it when have other things to do in Lyndonville

Because 80% of people who own more than 50 acres realistically only use 4 acres for their house, garden, and whatever rec space they may have.

I’m specifically referring to undeveloped woodlands that border public and federal land. It’s such a small and trivial fee that if they cared enough about it they would post their own land. Or at the very least put up several bo hunting signs.

Hahaha

There's a group of guys who've been going every year for fifty years, they bring everything in on those motorized trail carts. It's pretty interesting to see, and definitely shows that making it accessible without making a lot of changes to the infrastructure could be possible.
