As for the point system I cannot support. This will bring hunters back into the draw system that have either quit applying or have been applying in units that have no tags for many years. Hunters that have followed the system and have gone to units where there are tags may now be penalized through the new system as proposed. Or it will allow hunters with the most points to go into units surrounding their normal place of applying and put more pressure on those units and the hunters that stay within. It also sounds confusing leading to more frustration to hunters and more complaints. On top the cost will be high to create a new system, so where is the money going to come from and what else may be cut?
I also see this affecting the youth in getting a tag, I believe that people like me may go a decade or so without seeing a tag or an opportunity which is not right! The province should keep the current system since it is working but maybe tweak to best fit tag allocations with the new proposals put forth. With the reduction in moose hunters the SPA must be seeing a big hit along with lack of funding and downsizing of the government, it doesn’t make sense to build a new system at this time.
