AND IMPORT PERMITS
To have live Bobwhite quail in your possession you need Maine Wildlife Propagation Permit. This permit is good for TWO calendar years and currently has a total cost of $27.00 ($13.50 per year).
When applying for this permit you can request a free Permit to Use Firearms During the Training of Sporting Dogs.
To bring adult gamebirds or chicks across state lines you need a Wildlife Importation Permit. This is also $27.00 and is good for ONE calender year. You do NOT need this permit if you are living in Maine and buy quail from us.
Applications for these permits are available by calling 1-(207) 287-8000 . The people that answer the phone will know what you need if you ask for the applications by name. The propagation and firearms permit applications are available at
