I am moving up to Maine for college and get to hunt the areas around campus for deer, beer, and moose.
If you're shooting beer just make sure that they're empty first!!!

I have a friend that grew up hunting in Maine and he said the shots are close, close, close!!! If I'm not mistaken Maine moose permits are all given out in a drawing so you'll be mostly hunting deer and bear. I'd probably go with a 30-30 carbine myself. Great for deer and bear and if you do get drawn for moose it's plenty of medicine for them at close range.
