Beginning this year, a licensed Maine hunter with an antlerless deer permit can harvest an antlerless deer in the designated district and an antlered deer statewide. Hunters may acquire the antlerless deer permits through the lottery, and any remaining permits will be available for purchase on the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife's website. There is a $12 fee and a $2 agent fee for the antlerless deer permit. Maine deer biologist Nathan Bieber says the revenue from the permit fees would go toward conservation efforts.
