The Maine Bureau of Veterans' Services has been holding a controlled moose hunt for disabled veterans since 2010.

The program works like a normal hunting lottery where applicants may or may not receive a permit.

If drawn, the hunter is paired with a Maine Guide with training in moose hunting according to Connecting Vets.com.

Veterans need to have a disability rating of at least 50 percent to apply.

The hunts are scheduled for August and September. Selectees from the lottery will be announced by May 24th.

Applications can be found here and are being accepted now through May 3rd:
