Applications Being Accepted For The 2021 Moose Permit Lottery
Applications are now being accepted for the 2021 Moose Permit Lottery.
The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is now accepting applications for the 2021 Moose Permit Lottery. You have until, May 13 to apply. Applications are only being accepted online. Once completed, you'll receive a confirmation email indicating that you successfully entered.
Since 1998, applicants receive bonus points on their name for each consecutive year entered without being drawn. Each bonus point gives you another chance at being selected. The more years someone enters, and isn't selected, the more bonus points are added per-year.
Here's the breakdown:
- One bonus point is acquired each year for five years.
- Two per-year for years 6-10,
- Three per-year for years 11-15
- 10 per year for years 16 and beyond
In 2011 a rule was enacted that an applicant can skip one year and not loose any acquired points. So if you applied in 2019, but didn't enter last year, you didn't loose your points.
The moose lottery drawing will be held June 12. A venue has yet to be announced. Due to COVID, last year's drawing was held virtually. The moose lottery drawing was to be held at Sky Lodge in Jackman last year. The plan was for the venue to host the event in 2021.
