This weekend, the names of lucky hunters who've been selected for a moose permit will be announced. Heading to the drawing? Here's what to know, before you go.

First the third time, the town of Scarborough will host the annual Moose Permit Lottery. The festivities will be at Cabela's on June 8. The selected names will be read beginning at 2p.m.

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife is proposing issuing 2,820 moose permits this year. That's 320 more permits than the pervious year, according to the BDN. The proposed breakdown is 2,130 antlered permits, 650 antlerless-only permits and 40 any-moose permits.

If you cant make it to the drawing, all permit winners will be posted online by 6p.m.
