To increase moose populations you should eliminate calf hunts in low population moose areas and limit calf hunts in the other areas. Give out more bull tags than cow tags. The system you have is designed to reduce moose numbers because everyone gets a calf tag and the calves are getting decimated by hunters and predatory animals. By giving out more cow tags you are limiting the calf population, a bull can breed with multiple cow which would increase calf population. Also, do not split tags between bow and rifle. Just allocate the tags and make the tag good for any of the seasons. So if the hunter doesn't harvest a moose during bow season they can use there tag for rifle.
