Unfortunately there is nothing in this proposal to address Managements units where the herds have all but disappeared. Area 8 is one such unit. Once an Area with the highest moose count in the province to one where you are lucky if you see a track let alone a Moose. This unit, and there maybe others, need specific management straegies in order for the herd to reestablish itself while still allowing a limited amount of hunting. A couple of suggestions would be reduced the number of Cow tags issued to 1 and delay the season opening date until after the rut is over.
Your administrative proposals are ok so long as the price of a tag does not make Moose Hunting a rich man's game.
