Hunters must file their 2007 moose hunt permit applications with the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife before the April 2 deadline.
The department will accept no applications after 4:59 p.m. on Monday, April 2, and all applications must be made on the department’s standard application form. The public chance drawing will be conducted in June by the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
All applicants 16 years of age and older must comply with Maine’s hunter safety law before a big game license can be issued. Also, anyone receiving a Maine moose hunting permit must wait two years before being eligible to hold another one. So hunters who received a permit in 2005 or 2006 cannot apply this year. This requirement affects permit holders only. It does not affect hunters who were sub-permittees, nor does it prohibit a hunter from being a supermittee during the two-year waiting period.
Maine will have two different moose hunts this year: Sept. 24-Sept. 29 in Wildlife Management Districts 1-6, 11 and 19; and Oct. 8-13 in Districts 1-14, 18, 19, 27 and 28.
Hunters can apply online by visiting www.informe.org/ifw/moosepermit.html. The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife can be contacted at 287-8000.
