2009 moose lottery to be held in Fort Kent

Augusta, Maine (AP) – Maine’s moose permit lottery is coming to
the St. John Valley for the first time.

The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife announced
Tuesday that the drawing will take place June 18 at the University
of Maine at Fort Kent.

Commissioner Roland “Danny” Martin said the drawing provides an
opportunity for local businesses, including those involved in
hunting and fishing, to promote Aroostook County and exhibit their
products.

The state’s moose hunt is held in the fall. For the past 10
years, the drawing has been held at different locations around
Maine. Last year’s was in Kittery, at the opposite end of the
state.
