Maine license holders in Maine who shared their email addresses with the folks at the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife were sent an email with some important and helpful information in it. Here’s a reprint of that letter.

Dear Friend of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife:

Here’s some important information from the Department we’d like you to know about.

Moose Permit Applications Due: The deadline for Moose Permit Applications is 11:59 p.m. April 1, 2008. To apply now just click here: http://www.informe.org/ifw/moosepermit.html.

This year, 2,880 permits will be issued plus an additional 135 permits for a few southern wildlife management districts.

Want to know if you secured a moose hunt permit? The annual Moose Hunt Lottery will begin at 6 p.m. on Thursday, June 12, at Kittery Trading Post.

Buy Your Fishing License Now: With Open Water Fishing Season just around the corner, it’s time to buy your license, if you haven’t already. Use MOSES! Visit https://www5.informe.org/online/moses or go to one our 236 licensing agents statewide who also use MOSES.

When you purchase your license through MOSES, you’ll automatically be entered into a drawing for one of these great prizes: Two $2,000 shopping sprees – one at Kittery Trading Post and one at L.L. Bean – or one of 30 2009 Hunt and Fish Combo Licenses.

Don’t Throw Out Your 2008 Ice Fishing Law Book!: The regulations are in effect for another year, through March 31, 2009.

Fishing Newsletter and Open Water Fishing Preview: Read about the fisheries management projects our Fisheries Biologists have been working on. Visit www.maine.gov/ifw/fishing/newsletter/index.htm

TripTracks: We’d like to know what you’re catching on the lakes and ponds. Your input helps us to manage Maine’s inland fisheries. Go to www.triptracks.com to record your fishing experiences.

Fishing Prominent on Visitmaine.com: With a couple of million visitors a year, Visitmaine.com is the Web site that tourists use to plan their Maine vacation. Visit www.Visitmaine.com and click on fishing. You’ll be hooked.

Chickadee Check-off: Finished your taxes yet? If not, we’d like to ask you to consider marking the Chickadee Check-off on the Supplemental Form of the Maine Income Tax Form. The Chickadee Check-off is a voluntary tax contribution whose proceeds are placed in the Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Fund and used to fund the endangered and nongame wildlife programs within IF&W. The resurgence of the Bald Eagle in Maine is attributed to this fund.

Please pass this e-mail on to your hunting and fishing friends. Have a safe and happy spring in Maine’s great outdoors.

Best wishes,
Your Friends at the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife
