I d like to thank the people in charge for making an effort and acknowledging there is a problem going on with the moose hunting population.
I from a northern community I’m 3rd generation butcher..
My grand pa was a butcher, passed on to my uncle and I took the trade part time to learn and have more respect and knowledge about the harvest of different game. I’m a big hunter as well, so I understand the different dynamics... involve with the hunting community.. when it comes down to it, plain and simple, the natives and Métis are ruining everything for everyone. Moose hasn’t even been open yet legally and already 14
Moose has been brought to us by natives and ask to be butchered. This one individual shoots around 20-30 a year.. this other individual shoots a couple every March, April... that’s the native who chooses to bring the meat to my uncle... and disregards other butchers plus the one who does it themselves.
As a hunter it disgusts me...
I take pride, follow the rules, I been hunting for 10 years for moose, only hunted once for adult moose, I never drew a tag. Our area we hunt.. we talk to loggers and they say natives, Métis are in there in August shooting for the whole community. All those kills.. are undocumented, no paper trail...
No rules whatsoever, only requires the native card. It is sickening.
These are the numbers, the stories I hear from being a hunter and also working in the meat shop business. It is it the story you guys hear making the decision. It is the cold heart truth.
It’s Great to change the rules but EVERYONE has to follow them..
It is not fair, they re the one ruining and we re suffering and paying for it. That traite that was sign in the 1800..
Back then natives didn’t have trucks, quads, guns, ... they had to work and hunt with primitive tools.. now society changed, and they are doing the same with today’s technology. It is an outrage and we re just letting them go by like it’s nothing and meanwhile everyone is suffering.
In the end or the day, it doesn’t matter what system you implement, it will be the same unless that problem gets resolve.
