Just something to consider if you do not want any animals left in the bush because of shooting the wrong animal; I would suggest shoot what you see and apply any number of tags required for that area for that year. For instance if 8 hunters are needed for a party hunt then 8 tags must be used for the harvest of that animal. Secondly consider closed seasons on alternate years to increase herds to sustainable levels and that means nobody!! hunts moose that year!! Thirdly if you allow native hunters they should have a quota which would be cut in half during those years.
The Ministry promised increased herd sizes using their system some 30 or so years ago, a system which has failed miserably, so try something that us hunters propose because we are the ones that do not want to see animals wasted because of ineffective regulations.

P.S. Any moose hunter can make an honest mistake when they have a cow tag and end up shooting a yearling bull that has horns hidden behind ears that are longer, thus what does the hunter do, he will likely walk away and wasting an animal that otherwise would be kept under my proposal above.Thank you for reading this.
