There’s something magical about seeing a Maine moose. Towering above the trees, wandering through the North Woods, and weighing as much as a small car, these incredible animals are a true symbol of Maine.
And for thousands of outdoor enthusiasts, the annual Maine Moose Permit Lottery is one of the most anticipated events of the year!
The 2026 Maine State Moose Lottery Permit Drawing will take place:
📅 June 19-20, 2026
📍 Acton Fairgrounds, Acton, Maine
🎟️ Admission is FREE
🚗 Parking is just $5 cash
Whether you’re hoping to hear your name called or simply want to enjoy the festivities, it’s a great weekend filled with excitement, outdoor traditions, and plenty of Maine pride.
Maine is home to one of the largest moose populations in the lower 48 states. Because moose permits are limited, hunters enter a lottery for the chance to receive one of these highly sought-after tags.
For many applicants, winning a moose permit is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Some hunters apply for years before finally hearing their name announced!
If luck is on your side and you draw a permit, preparation is key. From scouting locations to gathering gear and planning campfires, every detail matters.
That’s where Little Bucket Firestarters come in.
Our firestarters are:
✅ Made from 100% recycled materials
✅ Easy to light with just one match or lighter
✅ Burn for over 20 minutes
✅ Great for campfires, hunting camps, woodstoves, and fire pits
✅ Proudly made in Maine
Whether you’re enjoying coffee around the campfire before sunrise or relaxing after a long day in the woods, Little Bucket Firestarters help make starting your fire simple.
Even if you’re not entering the lottery, the event is a fantastic reason to explore southern Maine. Bring the family, enjoy local vendors, connect with fellow outdoor enthusiasts, and celebrate one of Maine’s most iconic traditions.
You might even spot Kora the Moose, the event’s famous mascot!
From all of us at Little Bucket Firestarters, we wish every applicant the best of luck in the 2026 Maine Moose Lottery.
And remember…
One permit. One campfire. One unforgettable Maine adventure.
