I live in WMA 13, I hunt 12B for with my group when successful with a bull tag, and 15A for a calf. That being said, there have been NUMEROUS cows/calf’s shot and left to spoil, I’m sure due to someone not properly identifying the animal there tag allows. I believe EVERYONE who apples for a cow tag and is successful in receiving one weather bow/rifle. Should be aloud to harvest the calf prior to the calf season IF they have a cow tag attached to the calf. This will help the population in numerous ways. 1 if an Animal was misjudged and shot, it can be tagged without spoiling (any faithful honest hunter would attach the tag and now allow the animal to waste). 2 a lot of hunters would rather harvest a calf knowing the cow has a calf or 2. If a cow is harvested in bow or rifle season the chance of the calf surviving has now drastically dropped, and the calf will never survive the winter alone. The other option I know would work is only open the cow season for the same 2 weeks the calf season is open. 9 times out of 10 there’s at least 2 hunters 1 with a cow tag one with a calf tag. This would allow both moose to be harvested and no calf potentially going to waste to nature. Also the wolf population primarily in 15A as I spend a lot of time up there year round, has been increasing faster then the food chain can keep up with. This summer alone I have witnessed numerous wolfs all out scavenging for food. There was a point this summer my grandfather was being stocked and hunted by one of the packs while he was out blueberry picking. I believe wolf season should be opened the same day fall bear season opens, as the wolf’s do often come into the bear stands and a lot of hunters would love to have the opportunity to shoot a wolf but can’t as the seasons not open. I also believe the wolf/coyote tag should be eliminated and provided you have your small game license.this will allow a few more hunters to help maintain the increasing wolf population with out the fear of shooting one and not having that tag. I believe I have stated all my concerns I hope these are taken into consideration to assist in boasting the moose population
Thanks
