Maine’s annual firearms season for deer kicked off with “Maine Resident Only Day” on Saturday. The state gave out more than 150,000 any-deer permits and hopes for more participation in the hunt to help manage the growing deer herd. The rest of the season runs from Nov. 1 to Nov. 27. There’s also a season for hunters who use muzzleloaders that runs from Nov. 29 to Dec. 11. Saturday was also “resident only” day for the moose hunt. The moose hunt runs from Nov. 1 to Nov. 27 in a limited part of central and southwestern Maine.
