The University of Maine System will not allow hunting on most of its nearly 15,000 acres across the state. Site supervisors on some of the system’s farms and forest lands had allowed hunting against university policy, according to Samantha Warren, system spokesperson. About a dozen people were told they could hunt on university research farms this year. She did not specify which properties were involved and did not say whether the permission to hunt would be rescinded. “UMaine’s weapons policy is consistent with those of all other public universities within the University of Maine System and we are not aware that hunting has been authorized on any other public university property,” Warren said.
