Everything you mention seems…

Everything you mention seems well thought out, provides a bit more protection for calves (the future), chance to apply for a tag (smaller cost) without first having paid for a moose licence (like elk now), use of points, flexibility to refuse a tag with no loss of points if you actually get a tag but decide not to hunt. Only thing I would not like to see is the reduction of distance from tag holder from 5 km to 3 km. In this day and age I still believe 5 kms from tag holder is fair. Reduction to 3 km will not advantage the moose population but reduces the flexibility of party hunters to cover some area, still maintain contact between party members and legally party hunt. Stay with the 5 kms.
