I have not had a moose tag…

I have not had a moose tag in 22 years of being in pool 1 and buying tags every year.
I am now 63 yrs of age -while I support a points based system a very expedited system is needed to ensure that older hunters who have not had an adult moose tag for many years be provided with this opportunity before they are physically unable to enjoy a last opportunity to hunt an adult moose.

In order for the proposed changes to be successful there needs to be some regulation or changes to the unregulated hunters. in many northern WMU aboriginal hunters begin hunting in early September. Refrigerator trucks are used and large numbers of moose are taken. Many of the bull moose are shot at night answering moose calls from aboriginal hunters during the peak of the moose rut. The numbers of moose harvested in these WMU far exceed the number of moose tags allocated. Unfortunately much of this moose meat is sold in Smoke shops on the various reserves. this harvest is unsustainable in its current form.
