At 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 15, the moose permit lottery drawing will commence. There is no charge to attend the lottery and the reading of names is expected to last 3 hours.

This year, 4,105 permits will be drawn in the random chance lottery from a pool of over 72,000 applicants.

Maine?s moose hunt is designed to manage the moose population. By modifying the number and type of moose permits available to hunters, the department can manage the moose population to provide for hunting and viewing opportunities, maintain a healthy moose population, and limit the number of moose/vehicle accidents.

For those prospective moose hunters who can?t make it to the lottery drawing, the names of permit winners will be posted on the Department?s website by 6:00 p.m. on the day of the event. Visit mefishwildlife.com [ [link removed] ] to access the list once it has been posted.
