Two Big Dates for Deer Hunting in September

Deer hunting season in Maine will be expanded this year and applications are now being accepted for the lottery.

Maine lawmakers are considering a bill that would make it easier for older residents to hunt deer.

On Wednesday Maine wildlife regulators will decide if they want to increase the number of deer hunting permits.

If you’re a deer hunter and have been disappointed you missed out on a permit last year, you may be in luck this year. There is a proposal to increase Maine’s deer hunting permits by 59 percent.

Firearms season begins Saturday for Maine residents and Monday for nonresidents. This year 28,770 any-deer permits were issued, according to a news release Thursday from the state Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. That number is down from 37,185 any-deer permits last year, according to the department.
