Wet deer season ends as snowless, foggy woods challenge hunters
In Vermont the 1970 deer season is done, marked by persistent rain and ground fog that hampered tracking. The writer notes damp conditions, scattered deer kills, and anticipates Department of Fish and Game input for 1971. A Montpelier meeting will discuss test water provisions for winter ice fishing and trout and salmon. A 20 lb 3 oz Caspian Lake trout, caught by Wayland Withers, is cited, then rabbit hunting shifts focus to snow and scent-driven runs with Oscar the beagle and a new companion anticipated to push the bunnies. Weather permitting, winter sport should be good.
