Establishes a permit for hunting coyote over bait in Maine, with specific dates and locations.

This bill creates a permit system for hunting coyote over bait in Maine. It allows individuals with a valid hunting license to obtain a permit to hunt coyote over bait between September 1st and December 15th in specific wildlife management districts. The permit requires compliance with existing bait placement provisions, particularly in towns with active deer wintering areas. The Commissioner of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is tasked with setting rules for bait placement and collecting a $4 fee for the permit.
