The waiting is the hardest part. You definitely don’t need to point out that adage to some longtime — and long-suffering — applicants for Maine’s moose permit lottery. With the Jackman Region Moose Lottery Festival scheduled for Saturday, including the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife’s announcement of the 2022 permit winners, I couldn’t help but wonder how long some folks have been applying without getting one. This is the 42nd edition of Maine’s modern moose hunt, which was established in 1980 and has been held every year since 1982. During the first 41 years, the state received a whopping 2,807,952 moose permit applications, an average of 68,487 per year. Out of that vast number of applications, 89,800 permits have been issued to moose hunters. Saturday’s permit lottery announcements begin at 2 p.m.
