    Shhhhhhhhh.   I heard the same thing about a week ago - Hope it's going
    to become reality!  They're probably not broadcasting it too loudly so
    that the anti's don't get all stirred-up again.

1231.2I want one (permit)SALEM::MACGREGORThu Dec 17 1992 14:474
    If they do that maybe I'll finally win the lottery. Every year I put in
    and haven't even come close. With the anti's theyll probably cut it at
    250. But at least that will be an improvement.

1231.3How and when do you apply?ESKIMO::RINELLAFri Dec 18 1992 08:429
    
    My friend and I were thinking of entering the lottery but we weren't
    sure what has to be done! How do you apply and what are the costs for
    the application and the license if you win?? If you do shoot one how the
    hell do you drag it out?? I heard you need a skidder but whats that
    gonna cost and whats the price on butchering it?? Seems like it starts
    to get pretty expensive..

1231.4to me it would be pricelessSALEM::MACGREGORFri Dec 18 1992 09:109
    re .3  The lottery application fee is $10. If you win residents pay
    $100 for the license and non-residents pay $300. You don't necissarily
    need a skidder but it sure would help. You could take it out in pieces.
    This past hunting season a school teacher from Manchester I think got a
    moose she had the help of 28 people to get it out in one piece. If you
    happen to get a 1000 lb. moose you will at leat get 500 lbs. of meat
    out of it. And there is no price put on the enjoyment of the hunt plus
    possibly getting the trophy of a lifetime. IMHO.

          I will try again for a chance this will

      I guess it's not as expensive as I thought. $110 dollars is not bad
    at all. So were do you get the applications and when do they have to be
    in by?? Are there certain areas you can only hunt?? I know of three moose
    running around in Windham N.H., just ten minutes away from my house!:')

    Are you sure you can take the moose out in pieces? I know when they
    originally started, the moose could be gutted, but the carcass had
    to be in one piece. If they have changed this it means that they
    realize a moose is somewhat bigger than a deer :-)
    
    As for where you hunt, my understanding is that it is only open in
    the norther part of the state, and they tell you which "area" to hunt.
    Exactly what an area is I don't know, but you sure can't get one in
    Windham :-)

    I thought I had read or heard that about checking in a moose intact
    also. Thats why I had asked about dragging it out! If you can take it out 
    in quarters, that would make life alot easier. Well at least I'll be able 
    to use my recently bought 7mm, thats if I get picked;'). I wonder what
    will happen when the moose population in Southern N.H. starts getting
    larger?

1231.9roadside mooseSALEM::MACGREGORRKBA is the 1st and 2nd (BoR) wayMon Apr 12 1993 12:119
    My wife, stepson and I were leaving yesterday morning at 10:30 to go up
    to a friends house for Easter dinner when one mile from my apartment
    building in Londonderry were 3 moose standing on the side of the road.
    Rt. 93 was only 100 yards away and it was just a mile south of exit 5.
    Think there might be a chance Londonderry could open up this year? I
    have a copy of the areas at home that will be open and I know
    londonderry isn't one of them. It sure was neat to see.
