Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Maine moose.lottery

My sister in law drew the first time she applied, did the waiting period and drew again the first time. She has not applied since.

I got super lucky and drew a tag with 6 pts back in 2013.Ended up with a beautiful 52”bull. Keep applying, someone has gotta draw a tag.

I applied.

Don't know a damn thing about Maine.

Or mooses for that matter.

Chances are against me, but if I get drawn, guess I will have to figure something out.

What were your zone picks?

What were your zone picks?

Dunno.

It asked for like 10

As long as you stayed to the north

If I recall, I did stay North

Just dug up the email.

Areas 1, 2, 3, 4 if that means anything

You did right.

If you draw this thread could become an epic.

I've shot 2 and am back in with just 2 points. Best meat there is.

Deadline tonight and drawing soon.

Point only for me this year. Not eligible to apply until next

72,000 applicants this year.

I put in for points again this year, total of 24 now. I"'ll have over 30 before age 65. The goal is to get a permit on my terms when I want it.

I’ve drawn 3 times, have been subpermittee several times, and manual labor on numerous hunts. The best hunts are 2-3 people on your terms with the clusters being the gang hunts. Glad I have done all but like you it is on my terms now in the zones and seasons I want.

My last permit was for the adaptive hunt. It was difficult with long days and a fairly long pack out. But it was a hunt and was fun. We had an absolute giant bull within 50-60 yards. They are still out there
I would not take an adaptive hunt permit again for a variety of reasons.

I have a small cabin here in zone 3 . I can very reasonably hunt moose from it on foot. And I plan to do a spot and stalk in a traditional hunting manor. And I will use an 1895 in 405. That's the plan so far anyway.

In. Maine Moose is tasty & I’ve got great friends that all applied. Even if I don’t draw, helping another hunter is an honor.
