I've been applying for 6 years now, and My son has been applying for 4. We apply as subs on each others apps. Figure Our odds are a lot better that way. I think Your chances are about as good as winning the lottery, but I will apply EVERY year til I get one. I'm actually on their mailing list now, and they send Me an application automatically. I'm with 445 supermag on this one; it's been My dream for a long time to go harvest a moose. I tasted the meat about 10 years ago, and it IS the best meat going. After hunting in Maine and having Moose walk by and seeing them along the roads up there, I'm fascinated by them. My dream hunt would be to draw a tag and hunt moose with a bow or muzzleloader. Good luck to all who apply!
