Antlerless deer permits are still available for purchase for WMDs 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 29

Beginning Monday, November 6 at 9:30AM hunters will be able to purchase a second Extra Antlerless Deer Permit online. Hunters who purchased a lottery permit will be able to have three permits total (two Extra Permits, and one lottery permit).

What to expect:

The Department is using the same waiting room and queue system as September 19 when the first round of permits became available for purchase. 

Starting at 9:30AM on November 6, users entering the purchase site will be entered into the queue. The queue system will release customers from the queue in the order they joined to ensure the purchase site can manage the number of active users.  

Those entering the site prior to 9:30AM will be put in a virtual waiting room to manage site traffic. Those who are in the waiting room or are accessing the site at 9:30AM will be given a random number and entered into the queue to wait for their turn to purchase a permit. Entering the waiting room early does not give one an advantage over those who enter the waiting room later or are on the site at 9:30AM.  Those entering the site after 9:30 AM will enter the queue in the order they arrive. 

Anyone arriving after 9:30 AM will be placed at the end of the line.

*If you do not see a green "Purchase Permit" button on this website page [ [link removed] ] by 9:30AM on November 6, you need to refresh your screen or clear your cache. *

 

*Be prepared and have the following information ready:*

* *Name and Date of Birth *"(Note: If you misspelled your name or date of birth on your current hunting license, you must enter it the same way for the system to recognize you)"
* *MOSES ID *(optional but highly encouraged, can be found on current hunting license)
* *Preferred Wildlife Management Districts (WMDs). **Find WMD maps at mefishwildlife.com/wmd [ [link removed] ]*

Respect Maine's Private Landowners

*Always be a good land user.* Always ask permission before hunting on private property and learn what matters most to the landowner. Keep it clean, legal, and respectful. Don't forget to label all tree stands and game cameras with your contact information, and ask for permission before putting them on private property (game cameras require written permission).

*"It is up to us, today's hunters, to help maintain access for generations to come."*
