Except as otherwise provided in this section, a super pack license includes all licenses and permits issued under this Part to hunt and fish all legal game and fish species, subject to the restrictions placed on the equivalent individual licenses or permits for those species. An individual license or permit contained in the super pack license is not valid unless the holder of the super pack license has met the eligibility requirements for that specific license or permit and is not otherwise prohibited from holding that license or permit. A person may be issued a super pack license without meeting the specific requirements of an individual license or permit contained in the super pack license, but that license or permit is invalid until the license holder meets the eligibility requirements for that particular license or permit. All restrictions and conditions on hunting and fishing apply to a super pack licensee. [PL 2007, c. 163, §1 (AMD); PL 2007, c. 163, §3 (AFF).] 1. Moose lottery chances.

If the applicant does not receive a super pack antlerless deer permit in accordance with paragraph A, the applicant is eligible to receive an antlerless deer permit by means of the antlerless deer permit lottery as described in section 11152 and if received may claim and pay for the antlerless deer permit. The applicant may purchase an antlerless deer permit over the counter. [PL 2023, c. 228, §7 (RPR); PL 2023, c. 228, §17 (AFF).] [PL 2023, c. 228, §7 (RPR); PL 2023, c. 228, §17 (AFF).] 3.
