Maine moose lottery opens online only
By Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife
The 2021 Maine moose permit lottery application process is open! Applications for the moose permit lottery will be accepted online only.
Applications must be completed by 11:59 p.m. May 13; the 2021 moose lottery permit drawing will take place June 12.
To apply online, visit the moose permit lottery page online to fill out the moose permit application. Hunters will be able to indicate several preferences, including which wildlife management districts (WMD) they are willing to accept a permit in, and if they would accept a permit in another WMD if their name is drawn and all top choices are filled.
Hunters will also be able to select a preferred hunting season, if they would accept an antlerless permit, and a choice of a sub-permittee.
New in 2021 the Department is proposing an adaptive unit hunt to determine if lowering the moose population density in the western side of WMD 4 can lessen the impacts of winter tick. Applicants will be asked if they want to apply for an adaptive unit hunt permit when completing the application.
