IF&W to meet today on moose hunt

16 years ago

    The Wildlife Division for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife will be conducting a public informational meeting to discuss the 2010 moose hunting season and moose management options for Wildlife Management Districts (WMDs) 2, 3 and 6 are in Aroostook County, and WMD 11 includes parts of southern Aroostook, northern Penobscot, and northern Washington (farm-woodlands) counties.
     This meeting will be held today at the department’s regional headquarters in Ashland, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
    The focus will be on three main issues: The department’s existing moose population goals and objectives; the number of moose hunting permits the department may allocate in 2010; and the possibility of extending the moose hunting season from the current two-week season to a three-week season.
    The department will use the public informational meeting input to develop the rule governing the 2010 moose season in WMDs 2, 3, 6, and 11 in Aroostook County, including permit allocation, timing, and hunting season.
