2016 Moose Permits

[44 Degrees North]

Applications due here shortly, I almost forgot.  Woodchip PM me the info I need to have you as a sub. Zones and dates. Phone number would be a good thing to have also. I'm also going to need room for my wife where ever we are staying. She said I'm not going hunting without her.

I get a free entry for my Super pack license. If by some crazy chance i get drawn. Ill give it to my Dad.....but wouldn't tell him till we went.

their cutting way back this year.

Yeah down to just over 2100 permits this year compared to 2740 last year...ticks are taking a heavy toll on them I think

[rpc55]

thanks for the reminder, I need to get on it

Don't forget the 70 and older rule change from last year. If someone has never been drawn and they turn 70 they will get a permit.

PLEASE NOTE: Moose permits to resident applicants over 70
A recent law guarantees a moose permit to any resident applicant who turns 70 or older during the calendar year of the hunt, who also has at least 30 points in the lottery system. Be sure to submit your application prior to the deadline and indicate all the seasons and WMD’s where you are interested in getting a permit.

Just a reminder on this one... They need to have applied at least 15 years (30 points) consecutively to be eligible for this.

You in the above category Woodchip? If so I'll put my son down as sub.

Put Your son down . I have been sub numerous times . My camp is in Zone 4 with 5 across the golden rd. Thanks for the offer.

They will sell off the last moose in the state for $$$$$.

I believe you mean 9 is the other side of the Golden rd. 5 is the other side of the Telos Lake and North of Baxter. I've seen people put down the wrong zones before and end up getting picked somewhere they didn't want, just don't want 44 to get messed up.

[woodchip1]

You are right!! Thanks for the correction I'm in #4 with #9 across the Golden rd and #8 is an 1/2 hr drive on the Golden rd west.

No they won't.   

[PK186]

No they won't.   

Geesh I hope not, what will the flatties look at?

[gradysjeep]

I would be more worried about the decline in the wood products industries then how many permits IFW give out.  The pulp and paper industry was/is the biggest factor in Maine's moose population.  2100 permits is nothing.
