I do not like that people will be forced to take a tag or lose there point’s if unclaimed for the 1st chance in second allocation draw. If my hunting party doesn’t pull a tag based on our individual points in the 1st allocation, we apply for the second allocation for tags based on the availability of tags remaining after the 1st allocation. If two or three of us in our hunting party get adult tags 1st choice second allocation, we are forced to take all 3 tags or just take 1 and the other 2 forfeit there points that they have saved or went tag less for for years? If that’s the case you will have people shooting 3 moose for example when they realistically only needed 1 for the party they hunt with. Nobody is going to lose there points and not claim a tag just to give it to somebody else because they don’t have the pts or were unsuccessful. For example I know a hunting party that received 2 tags 1st chance second allocation this year , they only need one moose which will be more than enough for the party size they have. So they only claimed one tag to leave the other go unclaimed and keep the moose population up so we can hunt for years to come or for other people to hunt for many years with a healthy population. If this was the case with the “proposed” changes, they would have claimed both tags and took unnecessary moose for the year on the case that they didn’t want to lose their points for no reason and that they were not sure if they would even get a tag the following year with no points. This is my is just my opinion.
