Vermont Statutes Title 10. Conservation and Development, § 4146. Public shooting grounds; establishment

The Commissioner may establish public shooting grounds on land acquired or controlled by and under the jurisdiction of the Department. The Commissioner may, for a specified period of time, prohibit or regulate the taking of wild animals in accordance with law on any part or parts of such lands. He or she may also make such regulations as may be necessary for the proper protection and management of such lands. At least 30 days before such a prohibition or regulation takes effect, she or he shall file a copy of same in the office of the town clerk of the town in which such lands lie, and shall cause the same to be published three times in a newspaper having general circulation in such area. Any part or parts of such shooting grounds which are closed against the taking of game shall be surrounded by suitable notices, as prescribed by the Commissioner, placed at conspicuous places along such boundaries.
