AUGUSTA — The Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife is urging hunters to download the PDF version of the 2017-18 version of the Maine Hunting Guide.
The department said in a news release the download is convenient, and also saves money and waste. A print version of the hunting guide will be available in the near future.
“Even without cell or Internet service, smartphone users can access their pre-downloaded law book to check a technical rule, confirm legal hunting times, etc. If you always keep your phone on you (and charged) to take photos or use the GPS, this is a no-brainer.”
The department also said that hunters can save themselves the trip to their local town hall by going to mefishwildlife.com/hunting laws and downloading the PDF to their phones, which open in iBooks for iPhone users and download to an app for Android users. On the computer, it can just be downloaded and printed.
“Every year, we print over 250,000 hunting law books,” the news release said. “That’s (a) a lot of paper, and (b) a lot of money that we think would be better spent preserving Maine’s fish & game and their habitats. Trusting that many of you will agree and opt for the digital version, we reduced the number of printed copies a bit this year, and will base next year’s order on this year’s data and feedback.”
