In the Big Game management…

In the Big Game management advisory committee report for the moose management review, on the first page in bold letters, it says with the goal to make the moose draw fairer, more accessible and simpler for hunts. How is these recommended changes making it fairer for Northern residents other than giving out 1 extra point which does not carry over year to year. This needs to be changed so that the extra point does carry over each year and accumulates. The amount of hunters that live in northern WMU's is a mirco fraction to the hunters in the south which will end up getting all the tags each year in these Northern WMU's. There is also talk in the report that is vary vague on shortening season, closing seasons in the middle or even splitting moose season. This will effect local hunters in these Northern WMU's (which are the longest seasons) these local like to wait until the hunting traffic is all gone (usually at the end of the season). If the goal is to do this they SHOULD make a local resident only season to make it fairer (resident address should match surrounding WMU to be eligible).
