Want to get a Maine moose permit? The deadline to apply is almost here
AUGUSTA, Maine (WMTW) – The deadline to get your name in the 2024 Maine moose hunt lottery is rapidly approaching.
Applications must be completed by 11:59 p.m. on May 15, and the Moose Lottery drawing will be held on June 15 in Fort Kent. The results will be available online by 6 p.m. that day.
You can start your application by clicking here.
More than 4,100 people got a moose permit in Maine in 2023. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries says over 72,400 people applied for a permit.
In 2024, 4,105 permits will be awarded, just one less than last year.
It costs $15 to apply to be in the lottery. If your name is drawn, it then costs $52 for residents and $585 for non-residents to buy their permit.
The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife says there are three ways to maximize your chance of winning a permit in the lottery:
- Choose districts with higher moose populations and, therefore, higher permit allocations.
- Keep applying every year to accumulate bonus points.
- Purchase more chances (non-residents only).

The Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition says over the past two weeks its immigrant defense hotline has seen an uptick in reported ICE detentions.
They say this corresponds with a national shift in ICE activity, including bids for local businesses to cooperate with ICE.
In Maine, the arrests follow a broader trend of targeting Black and brown immigrants, including people navigating immigration proceedings.
The coalition, which represents more than 100 organizations, says it’s ready to protect civil and human rights and is urging immigrants to prepare themselves and their families.
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
They suggest having the defense hotline ready in case you witness ICE activity, making sure you have important personal documents in case of detention, and reviewing rights around judicial warrants in private spaces, like your home or workplace.
It wouldn’t be Mother’s Day without a stop at the florist.
According to Fox Business, about 154 million flowers are sold during the week of Mother’s Day. So it’s safe to say it was a busy day for stores like Estabrook’s Maine Garden Center and Nursery.
Plenty of families stopped by to pick out flowers on Sunday, looking to choose the perfect bouquet for their moms.
“I think Mother’s Day is tradition, you know, and so it’s great to see families here. We have a lot of new families that have come today for the first time with their young children and their mother. Watching the young kids and seeing how excited they are—their eyes light up at all the beautiful flowers,” Tom Estabrook, president of Estabrook’s, said.
Estabrook says Mother’s Day tends to be a great kickoff to the spring season.
