This is encouraging since there hasn't been a season the past couple years.
2020 Moose Lottery Update
The department recommended to the Fish and Wildlife Board to issue 55 either sex hunting permits in WMU E for the 2020 hunting seasons. This is expected to result in the harvest of 33 moose (21 bulls, 10 cows, 2 calves). The 2020 moose season recommendation aims to improve the health of moose in WMUs E1 and E2 by reducing the impact of winter ticks.
This permit recommendation is a conservative first step to addressing winter tick impacts on moose in WMU E. Given the poor health of the moose population in that area and a clearly identified cause, it is important to take action to address this issue as quickly as possible.
