John, I bought some pheasant loads in Northern VT at a gas station on my way to Maine recently, they were right next to the donuts. They only checked my ID for Heady Topper (one of my favorite brews), so go figure.

Yup Andy, that’s how everyday life in northern Vermont is. I love it!

Looks like my youngest daughter, Parker, may be attending the University of Vermont in the fall as a freshman. Thought maybe at some point over the next four years I might try and make the Vermont State Trap shoot. I think I can manage flying with guns but might have trouble with three or four flats of shells.

You’d like to think any state trap shoot would have ammo available at the shoot , but in this day and age I’d not take that for granted anylonger .

John might I suggest , if you don’t already have a hard case or two long enough for 32-34 inch barrels start searching for some used Nasco or Americase cases . If they’re long enough I’m sure you can always find someone to redo the interior compartments . There may be others that stand up as well but I’ve personally seen Americase and Nasco cases stand up to some pretty intense bangs drops collisions whatever you care to call it . Now the downside is they aren’t light !

The airlines have very limiting rules for flying with ammo. You’ll have to check with airline.

You have to be at least 18 years old to purchase ammunition in Vermont.

No restrictions on non-residents other than that.
