State of Maine Deer Hunting Expanded Archery Areas

AGENCY: Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Advertise: June 10, 2026
CHAPTER NUMBER AND RULE TITLE: Chapter 16.07 – Deer Hunting (Expanded Archery areas)
TYPE OF RULE: Routine Technical
PROPOSAL FILING NUMBER:
BRIEF SUMMARY: The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is proposing to amend the areas open to hunting during the expanded archery season. The proposed change adds land area and joins and consolidates several existing expanded archery deer hunting areas along the southern and central Maine coast and adds some coastal islands to expanded archery. This proposed change provides additional deer harvest opportunities in areas where doe harvest tends to be below desired levels and where hunting as a management tool is limited by land access, challenging geography such as islands and peninsulas, and high levels of development. Please contact the agency contact person for a complete copy of the rule proposal.
PUBLIC HEARING: June 30, 2026 @ 4:00pm – Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, 353 Water Street, Room 423, Augusta. An online option for attending via Microsoft Teams will also be available. For those wishing to attend remotely, please contact the Agency Contact Person for this filing.
