It doesn’t make sense to extend moose calf hunting to protect moose populations. The calves need to be kept alive so they can mature and reproduce to promote moose populations. Increasing moose hunting at any age will reduce their population.

The entire ecosystem is connected. Reducing moose population will affect wolf populations as they’ll have less prey to feed on. They’ll have to hunt more of other animals or will starve. If wolves starve then the populations of their other prey animals are out of flux.

Recreational hunting is not a scientific nor intelligent way to manage wildlife populations. Managing human activity, e.g. by increasing restrictions on hunting and enforcing penalties on illegal hunting activities, is more logical.
