The IFW also released lottery winners for the Controlled Moose Hunt. The purpose of the controlled moose hunt is to reduce the incidence of crop depredation in selected towns in Aroostook County and reduce the incidence of moose/vehicle collisions along the Route 1 and Route 161 corridor.
The controlled hunt is not a recreational hunt. Rather, it is a targeted and focused effort to respond to farmers’ concerns about crop depredation and to address concerns about high incidences of moose/vehicle collisions along Routes 1 and 161.
For several years, the department has increased the number of moose permits in this area during the recreational hunt to respond to crop depredation and road safety concerns. The controlled hunt provides greater flexibility for the department to effectively manage moose and reduce negative impacts from moose in areas that may have limited access or in “non-traditional” habitat that may not attract hunters (i.e., agricultural-woodland mix).
Landowner winners in the controlled hunt were: Clinton Adams, Easton; Cameron Adams, Easton; Kristie Adams, Easton; Kenneth Arndt, Presque Isle; Forrest Michael Beckwith, Presque Isle; Robin Beckwith, Presque Isle; Roger Bubar, Fort Fairfield; Laureen Carlisle, Presque Isle; Douglas Carlisle, Presque Isle; Garol B. Carmichael, Presque Isle; Ruel Flannery, Fort Fairfield; Henry Ford, Presque Isle; David Guerrette, Washburn; Jacob Miller, Easton; Uria Miller, Easton; Christopher Pangburn, Easton; Sharon Salkind, Easton; Joshuah Salkind, Easton; David Salkind, Easton; Benjamin Sipe, Presque Isle; Brian Sipe, Presque Isle; Lance Smith, Presque Isle; Herschel Smith, Mars Hill; Rodney Sperrey, Washburn; Joni Swartzentruber, Mose Swartzentruber, Levi Swartzentruber, Joseph Swartzentruber, all of Fort Fairfield; John Yoder, Easton; Roman Yoder, Fort Fairfield; Joni Yoder, Easton; Daniel Yoder, Fort Fairfield; Joni Yoder, Fort Fairfield; Daniel Yoder, Easton; Dennis Yoder, Easton; and Noah Yoder, Fort Fairfield.
