Moose hunters will hit the woods starting Monday for second round

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • October 7, 2023

There will be more hunters in the woods starting Monday when the second week of moose season begins. The Oct. 9-14 week has the largest number of permit holders at 1,595, who will join game bird, bear and archery deer hunters already in Maine’s woods. There are 4,106 total permits for the three regular moose season weeks, plus the adaptive hunt days. The success of September’s hunters should be an inspiration to the next group hitting the woods on Monday. Hunters filled 776 of the total 1,050 tags designated for the Sept. 25-30 hunt.
