Most of these ‘initiatives’ related to moose hunting seem to ignore the existing population ‘dynamics’ of moose. How many moose are out on Ontario’s landscape? If the government is going to sell hunting tags, then it is essential to ensure the populations are very healthy. Read more

to grow the population you need to reduce the number of calves and cows taken, so every 4 - 5 years the number of tags handed out should be reduced for that year by half so it gives the population a better chance to grow in numbers. Read more
