2021 Maine Moose Lottery

Good luck this afternoon to all my fellow applicants. Today is the day we find out if we are lucky enough to draw a tag, or use the old Brooklyn Dodger cry of "Wait til next year."

I applied for a nonresident tag for 15 years and never got picked. I finally gave up. Kinda sorry I didn't stick with it.

ITS mostly a road hunt on private roads.IF i get picked ill let my disabled brother from away whack one with a 54 cal firehawk if found close to road.

Mine will be well off the roads and quartered out.

After 25 yrs applying i gave up.Friend of mine applied and got picked his first time.Go figure.NY GRIZ.

I've been applying for 28 years and still trying.
I caught the last hour and a half of the drawing and my name wasn't drawn.
Sooooo at 6pm EST I'll check the entire list.

Best of luck to all.

My Dad drew a cow tag!

Congratulations to your Dad.
Another year I didn't draw.
Next year for sure.

Drew my Maine tag and shot a small bull in 1997. Never applied again in Maine.

Family has drawn 3 tags in NH all successful hunts then said we have had our once in a lifetime hunts so have stopped applying.

I take it there are no preference points for years input and not drawn in Maine?

Minnesota was like that, when we actually had a huntable moose population. A young lady in her 20's from the lease I was part of put in and drew the first year, then proceeded to get a really nice bull (approx 60") with a rifle. While happy for her, there are individuals that had been applying for a lifetime, are well up there in age, and never have been drawn. Doesn't seem right somehow. I guess it doesn't matter now in Minnesota anyway.

Best wishes to those who drew in Maine for a successful fall hunt!

Yes, you accumulate points if not successful. I drew a resident tag during the second season way back 1982. I have been applying as a non-resident the past 10 years or so. My wife laughs when I call it my annual donation to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.

I apply in New Hampshire as well, but the prospects are even less there. I may apply in Vermont. The deadline there for applying is June 30.

I struck out again! Good luck to anyone that managed to draw!

I have struck out twenty years (+) even with LOTS of preference points stored up. The odds are just too great. But I will stay in it! I was drawn as an alternate ten+ years ago but could not make the date provided. Fortunately they kept my preference points intact.

Wait 'till next year!!!

Got a friend half a mile away from me. The kid is in his early 30's.
He just won for the 3rd time!

It is rather odd when a guy gets drawn and then his wife gets drawn the next year.

I got drawn in 2014 for the first time. I let my oldest son shoot a bull as I had shot a few as sub permittee. I have been on lots of good moose hunts. The moose herd numbers are pretty bad compared to what they used to be, you have to work for a moose now. I believe the odds are better for an out of state hunter. I wasn't drawn this year either.
