My thoughts are if you want to help increase the moose population than you must cancel the hunt of Cow moose.
Reasons are as follows:
#1- One bull moose can impregnate more than 1 Cow moose but a Cow moose can only get pregnant once. Therefore killing a cow moose equals no calf at all. And the bull moose could have already impregnated another which means the possibility of calf moose

#2- Calf hunt should be only aloud for a couple weeks as is in some WMU's. A cow could have 2 calves so it is possible that one still survived.

#3- If you kill a Cow moose and she has a calf/calves, the chance of survival is very minimal for the calf without its "mom" so that means even though you shot a cow and not the calf, in the long run you just killed the calf because chance of survival with out the Cow is very slim.

Thank you for taking the time to read and that it is taking into consideration. I'd love to continue to hunt for moose and it is a great way to increase moose population while still being able to hunt.
