A nominal fee to enter the moose tag draw will prohibit some people from entering the draw. License fees have substantially increased over the years. An alternative might be that the moose tag holder tags the moose immediately after the kill with their tag and license. A member of the gang must tag the moose as well with their hunting license. Both hunters would no longer be allowed to hunt moose for that season thus the gang party hunting size would be reduced by two. This would potentially reduce the gang's success rate which, could have a positive impact on the increase of the moose herd.

Alternating what type of moose that can be taken in a wildlife management unit annually would also be bennificial. Bulls only one year, Bulls and calves only the next, and bulls, cows and calves in the third year. The fourth year the cycle would start over again with bulls only. This would preserve cows and increase herd population.
