Love it or hate it, hunting is a big part of fall in Vermont. One of the annual autumn rituals is the naming of big game stations around the state. These are the places where hunters take bear, deer, turkey and moose to be weighed and reported.
Big game must be reported within 48 hours of a kill to the nearest game warden or a Vermont Fish & Wildlife reporting station. Below is a list, by county, of wardens and reporting stations for 2014, as well as their towns and phone numbers:
