The points system I don’t think will be a fair way for hunters to draw a tag. You could go 10 or more years between drawing a tag again.

If guys apply as individuals and hunt alone one moose is a lot of food for that said person.

Have a separate draw for left over tags after all groups that have applied for individual tags after all groups receive a tag or set 5% aside like the northern residence draw for individual applications in each unit.

We hunt in 18 a bow season and back in 2013 there was roughly 140 adult tags available. This year there is 61 adult tags available. What reason would you take bow tags away from bow hunters and give them too gun hunters who’s success rate is that much higher. If anything bow hunters should have more tags available as it’s much harder to harvest a moose with a bow.

There is no calf tags for bow hunting period if there is none for us there should none for gun hunters either.

Why not do a calf hunt every 3 years where you apply for a tag in each unit so this helps get the population up and success rates up while building the herd.

Natives drive the roads all night long every year we are on our hunt. We have yet to have a year where we don’t hear a rifle discharged in the middle of the night. This has to stop. It wouldn’t matter if they had to do a mandatory report it would be false anyway. More COs on patrol will help cut this down and put them in jail for poaching at night.

There are more and more people get into bow hunting and your taking tags and giving to the gun hunters. Why ??

No calf hunt will allow for more adult tags in the future if it’s cancelled for 3-5 years and then re introduce after you see the numbers increase.

If for example there are 10000 tags available 5000 for bow and 5000 for gun. Do a draw so all groups get tags. If there are any left after the draw have a second draw instead of a surplus call in for any tags in those areas individual applications can then draw a tag.

All bow hunt groups with 4 plus should be able to draw a tag. Like I said earlier it’s not easy to get a moose into under 40 yards and harvest.

Gun hunters are dropping moose at 300 no problem big difference in getting that animal.
