In all, 955 hunters headed afield on Monday, as the first of four moose permit seasons opened. Over those four seasons, a combined 3,135 moose permits have been allotted. Maine’s modern moose hunt began 40 years ago, in 1980, when it was staged on an experimental basis. After a one-year hiatus, it returned in 1982 and has been held annually since.
