Maine Moose permit applications are available on line until May 15th.

Good luck.

Saw your post on another forum.

My comments about Maine Moose for Non-residents:
1. While the draw is random, it's weighted bonus points. It takes some NRs 40+ points and decades to maybe draw, with no guarantees of ever drawing. I know guys spending hundreds of dollars each year on extra NR points and they still haven't drawn.

2. If you want an Eastern Canadian Moose, there are better options: Newfoundland and Ontario give you good value and Newfoundland has 85%+ success rates.

3. If you want Western Canadian Moose, then Saskatchewan or Alberta have the best value.

4. Manitoba is a sleeper Province with both good bear and moose.

If you really want to hunt moose, don't wait. Just do it.

I won't argue, but it is a drawing. Non residents have a chance at 10% of the available permits.
Play or do not, but it is an opportunity to hunt moose without leaving the lower 48.

You never know!

I drew about 20 years ago on my third try and took a terrific bull near Masardis. The lottery has changed a bit since then but I still get 10 chances each year and believe I have 60 bonus points now.

If drawn, the question will be what rifle to use this time? The 9.3x62, 404 Jeff or the 300 H&H? My 30-06 dropped this 847# bull in his tracks.

Beautiful bull.

Wow! Great moose.

That is definitely a trophy Maine bull.

I thought the Maine moose draw was once in a lifetime. Obviously I’m wrong.

It was at one time. When my dad got his in 1983 it was supposed to be once in a lifetime, and for him it was. The program has evolved in many ways, some good and others not so much.

Drawing is being held later today, good luck to those who put in.
