Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife
Moose Permit Lottery

Welcome to the Maine Moose Permit Lottery

Using this online service you will be able to enter into the Maine Moose Permit Lottery. From the list of lottery applicants, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife will administer a chance drawing to select winners for a Maine Moose Hunting Permit. To hunt moose in Maine, hunters must have one of these special Moose Hunting Permits.

Please note, you may only supply the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife with one application for the lottery per year; if it is found that an applicant has applied more than one time in a year, that applicant will be disqualified.

Applications must be completed by 11:59 pm (ET) on May 15, 2009.

A chance drawing will be held in mid June 2009.
