Due to extremely widespread power outages, some hunters are
having difficulty registering their harvested deer. Hunters are encouraged to
call ahead to registration
stations to see if they are open. A complete list of registration
stations and phone numbers can be found here.
We remind hunters to continue to hunt safely, and If you
harvest a deer and are unable to find an open deer registration station, you
can contact a Maine Game Warden through Maine State Police dispatch centers.
The department would like to remind hunters that a recently
revised law, PUBLIC
LAW 2017 CHAPTER 226, allows a person to keep an unregistered animal
harvested by that person if they notify a game warden within 18 hours and
provide the location of the animal and the circumstances preventing the person
from registering the animal.
To reach a Game Warden 24-hours a day, please contact the Maine
State Police dispatch center nearest you:
