Shooting in Vermont

[John Davis]

How difficult is it for a nonresident to buy shotgun shells in Vermont?

You don't have enough?

Seriously though, pistol permits, hunting licenses, Ammunition ID cards; Just about anything that says you know which end of the gun the bullet leaves from.
Some places look at the docs, and say yup (some don't actually even ask) and some point their laser scanner at it.
You have to have something in CT to even buy a bag of shot, but you can buy some training weights you strap on your ankle (or ex wife) and need nothing.

I’ve never had a problem buying ammo in Vermont John, but then I almost always bring plenty with me. Vermont is where I have hunted for my entire adult life, with only a few forays to Maine, NH and Ohio.
For such a left-leaning state Vermont’s gun laws are very lenient. In fact, anywhere you can carry a long arm in Vermont you can carry a handgun.

Hey Edgar, what size shot is in those training weights… or did you use all you had on submerging your ex-wife??

I was visiting my daughter in college in CT. Thought I would pick up some ammo at Cabelas on the way home.....Was told I would need a non-resident long gun permit, which I could get after an 8 hour class.
It's actually worse than NY.

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!

With the cost of shot, it's almost cheaper to rent a wood chipper.
