Maine’s annual moose permit lottery process is now open for 2022. Applications will be accepted online only. 
Applicants will be able to indicate several preferences, including which wildlife management districts (WMD) they are willing to accept a permit in, and if they would accept a permit in another WMD if their name is drawn and all of their top choices are filled.

Applicants will also be able to select a preferred hunting season, whether or not they would accept an antlerless permit, and choice of a sub-permittee. Also, applicants will be asked if they want to apply for the Adaptive Unit Hunt (WMD 4A).
