The moose numbers are decreasing. The moose hunters numbers are decreasing.
The goal of this exercise is to make people who constantly apply for an adult tag in the same WMU year after year where there’s next to no chance of getting a tag, get a tag every once in a while. I’m unsure how this will work. Too Many numbers for my pencil and paper.
There’s only so many moose and so many tags. Both declining year after year. And you feel we can somehow improve the chances of getting a tag better, when all along the odds are decreasing rapidly.
This exercise is also gonna cost more money obviously. So your gonna pass the extra cost onto the individual moose hunters. Prices are going up as always, but this maybe a huge jump in price.
This may just raise the odds of getting a tag by a few percentage points, by forcing some hunters out of the moose hunt because they cannot afford the new costs. Moose numbers stay the same, fewer hunters increases BillyBob’s chances at getting an adult tag for the first time in 23 years.
Decreasing hunting party numbers to 10. Again, BillyBob gets left at home this year cause it’s his turn. His cousin Johnny shoots provincial record bull moose from BillyBob’s stand.
And BillyBob gets one package of stew meat and one package of burger.
