I completely agree with making changes to the calf hunt in (WMUs) 37, 40, 41, 42 and 47, but I believe the issue lies with the few number of adult moose tags in this area. The hunters are fed up and have no choice but to hunt calf. I am a firm believer that most hunting groups would not kill as many calfs if they actually received an adult moose tag. Hopefully this change will increase their chance for an adult moose tag.
Not sure I agree with limiting the number of hunters who can hunt under a tag to 10. We have been applying and hunting with a group of 15 for as far as I can remember. All we want is 1 moose tag. We probably wouldn't elect to purchase a tag if we had multiple people who were successful. If we are forced to limit the number of hunters that can hunter a tag, then we would be forced to buy the extra tag, just so that we could all hunt together on more than 1 tag. My suggestion is to leave the number at 15, thus not affecting the groups that have been hunting together for many years.
