Good weather and heavy traffic await hunters as moose season begins

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • September 23, 2021

Roads in Maine’s North Woods and throughout Aroostook County will have a significant uptick in traffic next week. Starting Monday, logging trucks will be joined by slow-rolling pickups and SUVs for the start of Maine’s annual moose hunt. The first week runs through Oct. 2. More than 1,000 hunters and their sub-permittees will be distributed across 11 open Wildlife Management Districts. This year’s increase from 3,135 permits to 3,480 is evidence the population is doing well.
