Hunted Maine moose this past fall, after 20+ years of throwing my name in the hat. There were 2 other parties hunting out of the lodge we used, one of which drew a tag the 1st year they applied, the other, the 2nd year they applied.
Further, the rules are gradually changing with the net effect of making it tougher for non residents to draw a tag.
The moose herd in Maine is having problems as well.
I'm afraid that the best days of hunting Moose in Maine are behind us, though those willing to spend $12-15k will likely have good hunts for a few more years. They still have some smashers in the Big Woods.


Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years.
It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone.....
Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.
