...Permit!. Missed me by 6 digits this time! This lottery system has got to go.
That is why it's called a "lottery"
No lottery system in Maine.
There were multiple father/son husband/wife names drawn....seems very odd since they all have to submit individual applications...
It cost $15 and there were 131 bears killed in just 4 days last year in only 4 counties. They give out 800 permits that are good for up to 3 people can hunt per permit. It is estimated to be over 2000 black bears in the 4 counties permitted to hunt bears. I would not consider that a waste of time or money.Don't waste your time or money it's a ripoff! Book a hunt up in Maine in real bear country. No lottery system in Maine. Spring and fall hunts.
How do you know this? Each permit is good for up to 3 hunters so a Father/Mother/Son, Husband/Wife, etc could hunt together, but not sure how to tell what you are claiming from a list of 800 numbers.There were multiple father/son husband/wife names drawn....seems very odd since they all have to submit individual applications...
How can you tell this from a list of dnr ids?
I have been entering the black bear lottery for about 7 years and have never seen names listed along with Dnr Id #'s.The list was released with names, probably by mistake and then they removed the names soon after
I don't really see a need to list all the numbers. To me, it's kinda like putting peoples' driver's license numbers up. Every drawee gets notified via email or text.
You're right of course.Not every drawer is online. They may rely on others.
