Please note new bidding deadline for 2010 was Feb. 17th
Over the years, eleven "auction permittees" have enjoyed the services of Maine Trophy Moose. Many of them had been to Newfoundland at least once without success. They used the auction to expedite their acquisition of an "Eastern Moose" for their SCI collection. The remote spots of the Wildlife Management Districts ("WMD") we hunt in contain an excellent selection of trophy bulls. Our conservative style insures a good future for trophy bulls in our favorite hunting spots.
Ten Maine moose permits are sold each year to the ten highest sealed bids. Residency or non-residency is not a factor. These permits simply go to the ten people that bid the highest. The funds raised go almost completely to The Maine Youth Conservation School. Each summer nearly 300 youths receive complete scholarships to this week long camp where they learn more about safe hunting, conservation, firearm use and many other skills necessary for safe enjoyment of outdoor field sports. This helps perpetuate our sport.
Sealed bids must be in the hands of Maine Dept. of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife by February 15th. Bids are opened within a few days and winners are notified. Successful bidders are then able to choose their WMD, season and permit type (Bull Only Permit versus Antlerless Only; not too hard to figure!). Bidding fee is a non-refundable $25.00 Bid amount is not due until 30 days after successful bids are opened. Please contact mefor more information on this process or for a bid package.
As with all Maine moose permits, the hunter can use his choice of modern long arms, muzzleloader, hand cannon, or bow and arrow. This can be a great way to end up an autumn trip to Maine with all it has to offer.
