AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Maine’s annual moose hunt lottery is typically part of a big celebration of the giant animals, but this year scientists and game wardens will take the stage.

The lottery is scheduled for June 13.

It’s usually a live event paired with a moose festival that includes events such as a moose calling competition.

This year, the event is happening entirely online.

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife said biologists and game wardens will also give presentations about moose biology, management and hunting techniques.
