Vermont's Deer Herd Update
An 'Outdoor Journal' Special

Aired: Thursday, April 6th, 2006 at 8 pm

Want a chance to make your voice heard on last year's changes to the state's deer hunting regulations? Then be sure to tune in for this live call-in program.

The biggest change in Vermont deer hunting regulations in more than 100 years occurred during the 2005 season. Following a vigorous public process, sweeping changes were enacted such as redefining a legal buck and banning the baiting of deer.

Host Lawrence Pyne and a panel of experts will discuss the effects of these changes on the deer herd and hopes for the future. The panelists are:

Rob Borowske, chairman of the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Board;
Wayne Laroche, Vermont Fish & Wildlife commissioner; and
Col. Robert Rooks, Vermont Fish & Wildlife director of law enforcement.

Viewers are invited to participate with comments and questions. A toll-free number will be announced during the program.

"Vermont's Deer Herd Update" is intended to foster viewers' involvement in civic affairs. Series producer of VPT's Outdoor Journal is Neil Hilt. Production funding is provided by the USDA, Rural Development.
