Ahhh OK.. I have talked to other hunters that have never heard of it.. I always put in for Maine since I am close by.. Only reason I put in for NM is for my brother..

Don’t feel bad Paul.  I have been trying for 20 years plus, to get a moose permit.  Did you know that if you are a non resident and get drawn, it cost over 500 dollars to pick up your tag.  Kinda takes the excitement of being drawn away very quickly.

I’ve heard of it plenty times. I’ve drawn permits in Wyo. ,Montana, and New Mexico. I’ve just never heard it called a lottery before. I guess that’s what it really is- a lottery for permits.

Mike, unfortunately yes I know its 500 for non residents.. But to me its well worth it for a chance to get a Maine Moose..  I would take out a personal loan for that one, then if you do get a Moose, figure in the cost to have it mounted….

Ron, Ya sorry I know its technically a drawing. But I always call it a lottery since thats what it really is.. You pay money for a CHANCE to win.. They call it a drawing to make out sound better..  either way I am going to keep at it so if I do ever get one then I am definitely going.. Will deal with the money when the time comes..  Maine would be much better for me than New Mexico.. But will take which ever comes first.. I could have gone to NM last year out this year since my brother got both.. This year he got 2 different ones a week apart.. I will go when I hit my own..
