It includes permits for bear hunting and trapping, muzzleloader, migratory waterfowl, pheasant, spring and fall turkey, coyote night hunting, and one expanded archery antlerless and one either-sex deer. You still have to apply separately each year for antlerless deer and moose permits.
Request the licence in person or by mail at the Maine Bureau of Veterans’ Services Central Office, Camp Keyes, 194 Winthrop Street, Augusta ME 04333, or by email to mainebvs@maine.gov.
