No Moose for YOU!
« on: June 14, 2015, 11:41:00 AM »
No luck with the Maine draw yesterday.  Neither tag nor alternate.  Anyone else on here get a tag?

I did!  Yee ha.  I know how you feel though.  I went 0ver 20 years before I got my first permit.  Less this time thankfully.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Good for you Michael.  I never really expected a permit as this was my first year, but, you have to play to find out.  I have plenty to do this fall with two elk tags so it doesn't hurt that bad    :campfire:

Elk would be on my bucket list, a long drive to elk country form Maine.

Maine IFW cut down permit numbers due to a lot of winter kill from ticks.  It is even tougher than it has been.  Don't give up

Soup Nazi , or maybe Moose Nazi, was right I guess. "No moose for you. Come back one year."  Just a Seinfeld reference for the followers.

I feel your pain.  I have forgotten how many years I have been applying for moose, elk, and sheep in North Dakota. Certainly since I moved back to ND. So that makes it about 16 years, the second return.

Three friends have been drawn for elk so I know it's possible.
I have even dropped my request for a bull to anything. Time is running out.
