A new law requires the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife to launch a pilot program for electronic deer tagging.
Maine already allows hunters to register turkeys online.
“Whether that offers restricted days to register deer electronically, or restricted zones if needed,” he wrote.
In 2024, Maine had its second-highest deer harvest ever, with 42,258 deer taken statewide.
The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife must report back to the Legislature’s Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Committee on the pilot program by Jan. 14, 2026.
