Autumn in Vermont. Hunting is controlled for black bear, wild turkeys, deer, and moose. [204] There are 5,500 bears in the state. The goal is to keep the numbers between 4,500 and 6,000. [205] In 2010, there were about 141,000 deer in the state, which is in range of government goals.
The Boreal forest and its alpine cousins are host to a wide variety of deer, ranging from the large moose to the whitetail deer. All of these large herbivores prefer the cool forest lest they overheat in the sun, but all need open land on which to graze. Of the deer, moose are perhaps best adapted to wetlands and thrive in the boggy boreal forest.
In 1996, the moose population totalled 2,000, about 1.75/mi² (0.676/km²). In 2005, the population was 5,000; 3.4/mi² (1.313/km²). State officials determined that the herd had become stressed due to overpopulation, and that the 1996 figure was more desirable. As a result, 1,260 hunting permits were issued in 2008 to cull the herd. [21]
