Moose Points are now posted

tag numbers increased a lot in some areas last year,
nothing is going to change specially after 2 years or sorting it out,
I find it funny the people that complain there is no tags and no moose be the first ones to go shoot a set of twin calves or one calf to get 20 pounds of meat each after splitting with the group. and also be the ones that wont adapt and go deeper in the bush where the moose are after everyone pushes them back deep.
should only be aloud to shoot a calf if you live in the wmu you are hunting my opinion, leave the rest to grow.

If the moose herd is stable in a unit, then the number of adult tags numbers should be very close to what they were last year. Where calf tags were not previously available, the MNR will review what the calf harvest trend has been. They will also take into account the herd status- populations, age, sex ratios, etc. Given the short season and general low hunter success rates, calf tags should be plentiful and the MNR will hope that they all get allocated before the random draw to reduce the number of hunters with high point totals.

I hope that they stop all calf and cow tags for the vast majority of the province. The moose population is not very high in many areas, except for the far north but pretty much anywhere that you can drive a truck to should not have cows and calves shot, or at least a very small number of them.

I agree. They could also manage the moose range better. More fires should be able to burn and less herbicide spraying.

Same age.... 3 points.... Is Baffin Island in Ontario ?

Hey stranger! It's been a while. Good to see you back into the fray. Baffin? I was thinking Resolute,but,that's not in Ontario,either. My last kick at the cat might be a guided Moose hunt to The Yukon. Me and a couple of other fellas are putting out some feelers. Nothing concrete,yet.

The Rock is on the radar,too,definitely. We're waiting for a little more info from The Yukon. It seems there's no shortage of inflation up there. Prices,so far,are quite a bit north of $10K by the time we add in air fare.
