Vermont Fish & Wildlife can issue a licensed hunter a permit to hunt from a motor vehicle off the right of way if the hunter is paraplegic or certified by a physician as unable to pursue game because of a permanent severe physical disability. This one-page statement is that certification. The permit is issued to permanently disabled people only.
The hunter fills in their details and signs, authorizing the state to contact the physician. A physician who has the hunter under professional care states the date care began, gives the medical opinion that the hunter cannot walk 25 feet from a roadway to pursue game, and signs with name, address and phone.
