Recruitment is the primary issue.The lack of recruitment leads to an older population. High cow mortality is a symptom of this.
If there was good recruitment all the management scenarios would still work.

Oh reading that burns my butt. You work hard all your life , your taxes pay their wages. Sorry it's to early to get me started. Just packing to leave for camping trip. Breathe deep and refocus.
well if the "unlicened are not native, then they missed a massive hole in thier report then...once again.
Lots of "why don't they" in the replies. For my perspective this is a shared resource, owned by everyone in BC.
If I got a vote and a question for all the people in the thread it would be: How do WE make more moose?
Repair and restore the habitat. Curtail and enforce access issues. Go back to government run predator control with a target level of predators managed based on science. Excess predators removed by govt trapper/poison control. I'd also be in favour of more "real time" for lack of a better term management, ie if there's a sever winter, or moose count shows low survival, then seasons are amended before the fall season.
Thats my uneducated solution. Interested to see how it's handled in real life.
I believe the number 1 issue to be dealt with is access. Deactivating roads after reforestation would be a huge improvement.
