The Milagro gamma-ray observatory employs a water Cherenkov detector to\nobserve extensive air showers produced by high energy particles interacting in\nthe Earth's atmosphere. Milagro has a wide field of view (2 sr) and high duty\ncycle (> 90%) making it an ideal all-sky monitor of the northern hemisphere in\nthe 100 GeV to 100 TeV energy range. More than 45 satellite-triggered gamma-ray\nbursts (GRBs) have occurred in the field of view of Milagro since January 2000,\nwith the rate of bursts increasing significantly with the launch of Swift. We\ndiscuss the most recent results of a search for very high energy (VHE) emission\nfrom these GRBs.\n
