The proposal should also include dividing the season length in two parts.We should have the first part of the 5 week season or the second part as a check off on application on top of others ie wmu,arch,gun.The splitting of the season should also apply to archery hunting.
A hunter should not be allowed to participate in more than one group unless it is another season but can apply in another group if in a different WMU.
Enforcement should be allowed to ticket or seize an animal if the hunter has equipment designed as a moving tower ie argo atv with person on top,this should be automatic for intent to hunt from vehicle.
We should limit hunting to cutovers that are 10yrs or older,fresh cutovers are not the best cover for moose because of feed but regeneration is there at least 10yrs it starts to provide cover.
Hunting moose has become too easy because of equipment used.Newer Argo s can access any new cutovers even through fresh bog which could not be done years ago.
The use of electronic devices to call moose during rut should be banned,again an example of making it easy for hunters.
Bring back a deputy conservation officer program as a seasonal contract,this would help with enforcement and deterance.
