CI, Little Magnum, other VTers;

I'm considering entering the lottery this year and was wondering what you guys thought about the moose hunt?

Thanks

I have not looked at this years statistics...however as of last year your odds of receiving a permit, and your odds of success are far higher in MA.(though stillvery low).

I have already sent my sent my Maine application in for this year...

I see a lot of moose every year, but I've never applied. I think I will this year though. I know a few people that got them last year and I love the meat.

Hey JC,

I'm not the biggest fan of the way Maine runs their lottery.

Good luck on getting your tag.

Cheers,

Mustad...it's a great hunt if you get drawn. I got drawn in 2003 cow tag only saw 5 bull's ended up eating the tag....The state does a great job if you get drawn, you get package showing all the paper company land to hunt in your zone and where every moose was killed the prior year. Fish & Wildlife wants every person drawn to KILL a Moose !......

Go for it mustad. The odds are something like 13 to one for draws on in staters. I am not sure how the odds are for out of state people. I am going to be in Colorado about the same time so I won't be applying. If you get a chance to pick try E1 or E2 (northeast kingdom). Way more moose than deer and in the course of a 5 day hunt you should be able to bag a decent one. I really like the area around Lewis pond in Lewis and the whole area north of 105.

Thanks guys,

I'm going to head down to Waterbury next week and put my application in. Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

I have a link to a PDF for the application:

I'll be putting in for one.

Thanks eemer,

I'm going to head down anyways. I've got a ton of family just over the hill on rte 100 from Waterbury, so this gives me a good excuse to go see them.

Cheers,

I will be applying for VT, NH & ME(again). I'm from NJ the southern part. Most people think of NY city when I say NJ. I hope to get a tag some where. I have my 12 year old as sub-permittee. Cow or bull is doesn't matter. I love the meat, as does my son. I will be going back to Alaska for moose if I don't get picked in one of the states.
