Winners of Vermont’s 2012 moose hunting permits were drawn in a lottery yesterday. Four hundred thirty-five winners were selected among more than 11,400 applications.
While Vermont uses a lottery system, New Hampshire auctions off some permits to the highest bidders. And today is the deadline.
The Fish and Game Department says a total of five moose hunt permits are available to the highest bidders.
The auction benefits the Wildlife Heritage Foundation of New Hampshire, which raises money in support of Fish and Game Department programs.
Last year, the auction drew 24 bids from seven states, with the highest bid coming in at $85-hundred dollars.
