LD 1692 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act Regarding Antlerless Deer Permits For Certain Agricultural Landowners

This bill allows qualifying agricultural landowners in Maine to receive one free antlerless deer permit for the 2025 hunting season. It directly affects landowners who already hunt without a license on their own property (under 12 MRSA §11108). The key provision provides one free permit at no cost, while additional permits require payment through the standard lottery system. The policy change takes effect immediately to align with the September 2025 hunting season. This is a specific permit adjustment targeting agricultural landowners to address crop protection needs.
