Maine Moose Age Report Published for the 2022 Seasons

Those who harvested a moose last year can check the recently published age report for more info on their animal.

Thanks to biological data collected from harvested moose at tagging centers, Maine hunters can learn a little more about the animal they took. The report published by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife lists the age of a successful hunter's moose. An estimated age is derived from a tooth sample that can be submitted while reporting to a tagging station.
