If you have interest in eventually going on a moose hunt, you should apply for a permit or secure a bonus point toward a future lottery if you can’t hunt this year. Last year, 69,551 people applied for a moose permit and 4,000 were distributed. That included 1,410 antlerless permits and 40 any-moose tags, while the remainder were bull-only tags. Maine residents accounted for 3,692 permits among 45,302 applicants, while nonresidents were awarded 308 permits from a pool of 24,249 applicants.
