I don't think that removing the calf hunting season is the solution. Very few calves alone are killed during the moose hunting season. Most calves that do end up being killed were with their mother which was also killed.
With the calf season opening two weeks later in zone 24, we have witnessed killing a cow then less than a day later hearing wolves howling because they had caught the calf. Very little calves will make it through a winter season without it's mother, why make it suffer?
Also, up north, in our area, some natives make a lot MORE damage to the moose population by hunting during the night and killing everything that they see with a powered riffle during the RUT season. When they were first allowed to hunt all year round in the past, it was with bow and arrows which weren't as affective as the 7MM which they use today. No-one seems to want to tackle this problem! In our hunting area, were are sometimes scared because some natives hunt in the middle of the night. Come on people, let's tackle the REAL problem here.
A concerned hunter!
