IFW to turn over the oars to the lucky winner of its Classic Rangeley Boat Drawing
Augusta- Commissioner Roland “Dan” Martin will award a beautiful handcrafted Rangeley guide boat to Pierre Corbeau of Portland at 10:30 a.m., Wednesday Nov. 28 at the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife in Augusta.
Mr. Corbeau qualified to win the new watercraft earlier this year by purchasing his fishing license online at www.mefishwildlife.com. The Department offers the annual prize incentive to encourage customers to use the MOSES electronic licensing system to buy a license, enter the moose hunt lottery or apply for an any-deer permit. Customers at more than 200 MOSES equipped agents statewide also were entered to win. In 2006, the grand prize winner received a refurbished 1957 classic warden truck.
“The MOSES system and online purchasing have provided greater convenience for our customers, and has saved the department tens of thousands of dollars in costs associated with the administrative expense of manual paper licensing. These savings can instead be applied to the important management of our fish and wildlife resources,” Martin said. Customers using the MOSES system can access their account any time day or night and print multiple copies of their license. These copies can be conveniently placed in various boats, fishing vests, vehicles or hunting apparel.
“The costs incurred for the prizes and managing the contest are generated by sales of the department’s logo merchandise,” Martin said. “These funds are specifically earmarked for promotion and are surprisingly minimal compared to the combined savings achieved in converting customers to the MOSES system.”
