WATERBURY — Vermont moose hunting permit applications are available on the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department’s website (www.vtfishandwildlife.com ) and at license agents statewide, the department said in a release issued today.

On Fish & Wildlife’s website, look under “Hunting and Trapping,” and then click on Lottery Applications.

Lottery applications are $10 for residents and $25 for nonresidents. The deadline to apply is June 2.

Winners of the permit lottery will purchase resident hunting permits for $100 and nonresident hunting permits for $350. Hunters also will have the option to bid on five moose hunting permits in an auction to be announced later.

The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department will propose a regulation including permit numbers for the hunting season at a February 18th meeting of the Fish & Wildlife Board. Vermont issued 1,251 permits in 2008, and hunters took 605 moose in the 2008 hunting season. Proposed 2009 hunting season dates are October 17-22, or October 24 through November 1
