"no has to be center fire" That is the wrong answer, YES, is the correct answer. Vermont makes no restrictions on what can be used to hunt in Vermont State other than no fully automatic weapons ( machine guns), and no semi-auto rifle capable of holding more than 6 rounds unless it is a 22 caliber weapon using rimfire ammo.
