Nothing feels better then filling that first tag when the fall time hits - growing up we never really saw bear and always waited patiently for October to hit the deer woods. I really enjoy bear hunting in Vermont now though, it’s a great excuse to get out in the woods early and another opportunity to put some high quality meat in your freezer - and not to mention there’s now an abundance of bear running around so your bound to have some encounters.

Paul and Nikki (some of the best people in the NEK) took some time to go test the waters on Lake Ontario and reeled in some absolute beauties! Please take some time to tune in and check their episode out!

Just my yearly reminder for all wild game - please have the tag with it upon dropping it off - I will not accept your harvest without it so do us both a favor and come prepared. This protects both you and my business. If you’re bringing it to a butcher and planning on getting it mounted plan to communicate that with your butcher and make sure they hold onto the tag for you.

For out of state animals, please follow the VT Fish and Wildlife guidelines that can be found online about transporting animals back into the state - especially in regard to CWD states.

Your cooperation and understanding is appreciated!

Bit of a face lift to this old and tired Ox 🐂- Mother nature took off with one of his horns and some teeth and broke down the bone a bit but he still came out swinging for a second chance. Nice and white and polished up, ready for Becky’s wall! - Thanks Becky for choosing DHT!

With Bear season in full swing and Deer season just around the corner I want to throw it out there again that September 30th will be the last day I’ll be taking in any more cattle for the 2025 season. The flood gates have already breached with wild game flowing in here at DHT and these big bastards take up a lot of space and time to complete. I want to make sure by end of October there’s plenty of room for deer and bear so reach out by end of the month if you got a bull you want euro mounted!

I will begin intake again for cattle come May 2026

Thank you!

This is an awesome gesture by Alyssa at Rustic Roots Kitchen for our hunting community in the NEK - please give this post a share and bring your youth hunters by for an awesome meal!

We’re bringing back a tradition close to our hearts!

Growing up, Gram & Gramp always hosted a big Youth Weekend Breakfast — a time when family, friends, and neighbors gathered after coming in from the morning hunt. It wasn’t just about the food, it was about community. The laughter, the stories, and the smell of hot coffee filling the air are memories I’ll never forget.
This year, Rustic Roots Kitchen is honored to bring that tradition back for all of you!

Youth Hunters Breakfast
WHEN: SUNDAY, October 26th
WHAT TIME: 8:00am–11:00am (but coffee will be hot & ready by 7:00am!)
WHERE: Rustic Roots Kitchen 3779 VT RT 105, West Charleston VT 05872

Youth Hunters $5 | Adults $12
GRAB & GO but there will be limited covered outdoor seating available.
We’ll be serving up a hearty spread of venison, venison sausage, fresh eggs, assorted bagels, hot coffee, juices, & more!

I’m beyond thankful to carry on a tradition from my childhood — one that brought so many of us together year after year. I can’t wait to see our community gathered around the table once again.

Come hungry, come early, and let’s make new memories together!
EVERYONE is welcome to come! Hunter or not.
