I applied for a moose permit with 2 friends from VT. this year and neither of us were able to get one. Very hard to get one and best of luck to you. This is what i know. This years dates were only 5 days for moose hunting. Mid october is when you can hunt. Check late spring or early summer on there website so you can print an application. Its a random lottery so as long as you get it in by the deadline your set. For a resident its like $20 to apply and if you get a permit its $100 more. The best part is that you can put 2 other people on the permit with you. September 1st on there website in alphabetical order they had all the hunters listed who recieved moose permits. Sometimes people dont buy there permits when they are picked in lottery so there are some permits unclaimed but they are snagged up real fast. Good luck next year. Hope this info helps.
