Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Maine moose

The draw is this weekend. How lucky do you feel?
I've participated more years than I can remember, think I have 80 preference points. Not sure that changes the odds much for a non resident. Hoping for the best!

I'm in, think I have a better chance at the power ball.

I'm in but have been for the last 9 years. No luck yet.

I've been mailing them a donation check every year since '04. They never even send me a Thank You. I'm startin' to feel the clock tickin'. I might have to think about going a different route if I intend to cross a moose off the list. Sometimes I think it would be easier to draw a mule deer tag for the Arizona strip or the Kaibab.


Good Luck to all.

I'm in also. I want to get even with that Moose that chased me off Baker Ridge, above Great Pond when I was a teenager. That was some 55 years ago.

Wish ya the best.

Moose hunting is great fun!

...until some dang fool shoots a moose!

I'll be at the drawing on Saturday with crossed fingers. Haven't been since 2011.

Drew a tag in 2013 with 6 pts as a non res. Hope to get drawn again before the big guy calls me home. Maybe tomorrow??😁

Well once again, no moose for me.

I am in shock. Drew a zone 1 tag. Just wow!!!!!!!!

Good deal! That's a great zone for big bulls.

No luck again!!

Congrats!! Thats a great tag!!

9 years and still nothing to show....getting irritating seeing some people draw multiple times throughout their lives or families getting numerous tags in a single year.

Well I struck out again. Been trying on and off for 20 some years. Next up: NH. Lets see how that goes.

Drew a cow tag for zone 1 second October season

15 years and counting. Oh well, next year.

Congrats fellas! Nothing more exciting than finding out you drew a Moose tag! Best of luck!

Nada, zip, zero

Congratulations to the winners!

Best of luck.

No tag for me but Zone 1 is current home to the biggest bulls. 65 incher came out last year.

I absolutely REFUSE to patronize a state that won't allow hunting on Sunday. But best of luck that choose to do so.

I was in zone 1 this past weekend and saw some really nice bulls. Couple already had palms and eye guards.

Well I won't look for you here in PA then.

Not this year. I got pulled 5 years ago, but due to unforeseen family obligations, I couldnt go. We own property there since 1969, but apply as non res. Hopefully I’ll get drawn again soon. What I’d really rather see is my 82 year old father get drawn before he leaves this earth. We have both been putting in for permits since the lottery began (actually long before the lottery), so he has max points and should get drawn in the next few years, hopefully.

Interesting. I did not know that. Have read and will heed, thanks! Didn't get drawn anyway for the 2019 Moose lottery, but that's all the reason I need to never apply again, even after some 20 years at it, and building up those preference points.

My brother got a zone 5 first October season bull and I am his second. 10 years since I got mine.

Good to have one day a week to walk the dog without getting shot by some Masshole.

Good fortune to those whove been cosen.

May the wind be at your back, lean fuel in your tank with strong legs to carry you, and the eye of the hawk to send your shot true.

Never had inclination to shoots me a moose, but if I did I think id choose archery. close enough to count the whiskers on his nose and see the whites of his eyes.....

.....without getting stomped.

Never gone there either. + there's too many liberals.
