There will be no large throng at this year’s moose permit lottery, as there has been in years past. You won’t meet up with your friends and relatives there. You won’t join in as the crowd tries to set a world record for most people making a moose call at one time. No, COVID-19 has, for the moment, made things like that a mere memory. This year’s lottery on Saturday, June 13 will be “virtual,” with a few Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife staffers bunkered at the department’s Augusta office building, streaming results live across the internet.
