I have been bow hunting for moose in units 12a ,12b , 19 ,18a for the past 25 years . I've experienced bad experiences in all units . One sickening one is outfitters have outpost camps which they set up in the prime moose habitat and they cater mostly to non residents . I have been threatened by outfitters , saying something could happen to my vehicle if i stayed there. I would go one week early to scout , but on opening day i would have to move . This is on crown land .
I've been shot at by first nation because they were so drunk they mistook me for a moose . I've had a first nation calling moose from my campsite just to piss me off . I've had them come to my campsite threatening me if I didn't give them booze. They hunt at nite and so drugged they could barely speek.
From what i experienced and observed in the last 54 years moose hunting will be over in less then ten years expect for outfitters and first nation . I was lucky to have hunted moose for 53 years.
If you really want to save the moose all hunting has to be controlled. My mean all nations.
Twenty years ago at stopped at the MNR office in Geraldton Ontario, unit 19 ,and was talking to an officer . When i told him i was bow moose hunting he told me to wear a red vest because first nation were doing their harvesting . Funny, three days after i was shot at . I laid on the ground ,was able to remove my vest and waved it like a flag . They were shooting at about 800 yards across a cut . I could go on all day about bad experiences , my kids told me i should write a book ,but i don't want to get shot again because this time they might hit the target . If you really want to same the moose population all hunters have to participate. It's over ,because nobody has the power to stop first nation.
