More hunters to pursue Maine moose this fall

By The Associated Press - | Sep 26, 2021

CARIBOU, Maine (AP) — Maine’s annual moose hunt will start soon with more permits for hunters than the previous year.

The hunt begins on Monday in limited parts of the state. The late September and early October moose hunt mostly takes place in far northern and eastern parts of Maine.

The moose hunt ends briefly on Oct. 2. Other stretches of the hunt take places in mid-October, late October and November. The state approved almost 3,500 moose permits for this season, and that was an increase of 11% from the previous year.

The moose hunt is starting as the bear hunt is winding down. The part of the bear hunt in which it’s legal to hunt with bait was scheduled to end on Saturday.
