Maine’s annual moose permit lottery is officially open, and hunters have until May 15 to submit their applications online.
The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is accepting applications exclusively at mefishwildlife.com.
Hunters can specify their preferred Wildlife Management Districts and indicate if they would accept a permit in a different district if their top choices are unavailable.
Applicants can also select their preferred hunting season, opt for an antlerless permit, and name a sub-permittee.
Additionally, hunters may apply for the Adaptive Unit Hunt in Wildlife Management District 4A.
All applications must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 15.
The lottery drawing will be held on Saturday, June 21, as part of the High Peaks Outdoor Heritage Festival in Farmington, Maine.
Results will be available online at mefishwildlife.com by 6 p.m. that evening.
