I've lived, shot and hunted in coastal Maine for 45 years, the only place that requires a permit now is federal park areas, but some areas may have special restrictions depending on where they are located, time of year (hunting season) etc. Maine is a quirky state, it is the most heavily forested state in the continental US as a percentage of overall land size--yet only 5% or so is not in private hands, so the real deciding factor is simply getting permission (or taking your chances on the long cherished tradition of "it's easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission"). There's a sprinkling of Woodstock era liberals with money who do try to control gun use--they're generally lucky if they can get that done on their own property. Maine is in fact one of the most pro gun states in America.
