RE: Maine Moose Draw
I drew a tag in 2001 in zone 1 and ended up shooting a 552 lb cow at 11 am on the last day. I wanted to do it without just driving the roads and shot one off the road and I wanted to bow hunt at least to start. As it turns out the rut in our area was past so calling did not work so after 3 days I switched to the rifle. Zone 1 is very difficult because of remoteness and it is a big logging area adjacent to canada and many people we spoke to said that the loggers don't have a problem knocking a moose down when they want and dragging it across the border in a logging truck. But overall it was a great experience that I hope to be able to do again. It took me about 10 years to draw and I can't put again for another year. After being drawn you have to wait 2 years to apply again. But I have been putting my wife and father in and I can be a sub permittee on their tag. It is well worth chance to do it.
