Moose draw opens April 1

Once the units that are being falsely flooded with moose tags to help remove the moose for the woodland caribou come in line like they have done in unit 21A the rooster will come home to roost in this tag of a lifetime system.

We have a predator problem with wolves taking the majority of the moose calves over the summer before the calves make it to the fall.

The root cause is all the access roads in the boreal forest from logging.

You have highly mobile predator that trumps any management plan.

Add in black bears, treaty rights, and roadkills and you have a predator pit that the moose are barely hanging on.

Most units unless they have had drastic tag reductions are all in decline.

Tag to point numbers are going up not down.

That they are, My in laws live in 50 and we defiantly have noticed a increase in moose, guys have been hammering the bears last few years so thinking has something to do with on our road, 15 were shot last year I know of.
Area 53 took a drastic decline.

You are absolutely right
but live the native out …
The number of vehicle collision is a big problem . For sure…

The amount of moose we have seen in 53 this winter makes no sense at all why they would reduce the tags so drastically.
