Flyfishing for trout, turkey and deer hunting. I'm not very good at the catching part, but I'm really good at the drinking coffee early in the morning and going for a nice walk in nature part.

I love being in my blind during turkey season while its still dark and hearing the woods wake up.

That is probably the one thing I miss about going deer/turkey hunting with my dad. Going out so early that its still dark and you need a flashlight to see, and sitting in the blind hearing the world wake up around you.

Im curious if there is any good spots around Montpelier. You dont have to give away any secrets, but a general idea would be helpful. Im a broke outsider from Colorado trying to scratch my itch

For which sport? Fwiw, get the fishing reports from the local fly shops, especially fly rod shop. Also the stream and brook guides fly fishing report is also good.

For the deer and turkey, check out the WMAs from the state. Also talk about it with everyone you meet, you never know who might have the private land hookup.

Sending broke young sportsman sympathies, been there!

Thank you!! Looking for fly fishing. I thought it would be more popular than it is in Vermont. But I hit the fly shop in Stowe and they were pretty helpful. Local knowledge is always the best.

Have you checked out Groton State Forest, about a 20 minute drive from Montpelier? It’s the largest state forest in Vermont with lots of variable habitat for all kinds of hunting.
