I don't want to rain on your parade, but you could easily apply in Maine every year for the rest of your life and never draw...

Maine preference points don't guarantee an eventual draw...They just give you another chance or two in the hat, increasing your odds slightly...

So your odds might go from 1 in 200 to 1 in 198, or something similar...

I applied for over 20 years and finally quit applying..

By all means apply in Maine..You may get lucky, and you certainly can't win if you don't play.. Maine has some nice bulls and real high success rates IF you draw...Just don't hold your breath waiting to draw..

However, if you REALLY want to go moose hunting, save your $$ and hunt someplace that has OTC tags, like Alaska or Newfoundland..

Good luck.... Moose hunting is a real adventure...
