Column: Chances are good for an any-deer permit, but can they be better?

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • September 6, 2020

With the state giving out nearly 110,000 deer permits this year, your odds of getting an any-deer permit should be a whole lot better, though there are never any guarantees. If you find yourself among the unfortunate, there’s still hope. Any-deer, junior, landowner, bonus deer, or superpack deer permits can be transferred to another hunter, resident to resident and nonresident to nonresident only. And you have until Oct. 26 to make the transfer so you can wait until after the Youth Deer Day to decide if you want to transfer yours to an unsuccessful youngster. ~ Bob Humphrey
