Frequently asked questions

How much is a fishing license in Vermont?

An annual resident fishing license is $28; non-residents pay $54. Short-term (1-day/7-day) licenses are usually available for less. Trout/salmon stamps may be extra where required.

How much is a hunting license in Vermont?

Is there a combined hunting and fishing license in Vermont?

Yes — the resident combo/sportsman license is $47, cheaper than buying both separately.

Who sells licenses in Vermont?

The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department — online, plus license agents (sporting-goods stores, some retailers). Federal requirements like the $25 duck stamp for waterfowl are bought separately.
