Moose Quotas Cuts And Road Hunters

[kenneth Griffiths]

Due to hunters hunting on the side of the road and not getting there moose in the 2010-2011 season gave some area's low percent rates, with a high volume of moose. That gave the area's BIG cut's to Moose Quotas. Ex.. Area 31 Had 700 lic gave out and only 55% of the moose were taken. Lic in that area got cut by -300 out of the 630 cut's. Last year for all that season hunter's were driving up and down the highway like fly's looking for there moose. At the end of the season it got worse on the highway with hunter's in a mad rush STILL looking for there moose that they never got first or last.

Moose hunting is good day in the WOOD'S if you don't get out of your truck chances are you will not see a moose.

Never realy looked at that way fred. That is a great amount of pressure on the moose. Keep that up for a few more years and we woun't have to worry about hunting moose.

it will either become much harder to get a license because of reduced licenses. 

OR 

getting the moose will be tougher because lots of licenses and no moose.

The later being the worst because that will wipe them out.

if done honestly you will see a lot of people heading back off the avalon to get a license in less that 6 or 7 years.

It's starting to get that way now, 4-5 years to get a moose.
