Hi
I have been a moose hunter for 32 years . This year , our group of 10 pool 1 hunters did not receive a moose tag for area 12B , which we look forward to participating in every year . Unfortunately , one of our senior members that was suppose to apply with us took ill , and missed the draw deadline . The mishap was not discovered until we realized we did not receive a tag. Since then , i have been in touch with several very helpful M.N.R. representatives . I was informed that all groups of 11 received a adult tag , and all participants of a lower number did not . I also was informed that approx. 70 tags were left and were distributed to applicants who applied individually through the next steps in the draw . Last year , during conversations with successful hunters during our trip home , we discovered that a group of 4 that applied individually received 2 tags , and this is not the first time i have came across this . I was wondering why all large groups do not receive tags before a individual receives a tag . Seems to me that a group of 10 group 1 hunters contribute much more into the northern communities than a individual receiving a tag . At one time , our group would consider purchasing a tag from the outfitter , but since american hunters have been allowed to hunt in the same area , we have not been able to compete .
