The Maine Moose Lottery is only hours away and for many it’s like Christmas eve as a small child wondering if Santa would bring you that one toy you wanted the most. I just got back from a week in Maine yesterday and the topic of the draw came up a lot. Of course, I’m sitting this one and next years out after a successful 2005 hunt. I’ll be watching closely as many family and friends have their fingers crossed for the big draw.

About 500 people are expected to show up at Scarborough Downs race track where wildlife officials will announce the 2,895 names that will get moose permits. This is the 25th anniversary of the annual hunt.

The state rotates the lottery site throughout the state each year. Last year more than 70-thousand people applied to hunt moose in the state.
