Moronic regulations proposal

Hunters shooting calves makes no difference to the overall moose population.

To save the none endangered black bears they came up with the rule not to shoot moms or cubs. Why would this not make sense for moose too.

The real numbers always show the truth. Too bad the bureaucrats won't stick to the facts instead of pushing an agenda.

Calf hunting (at 60-80 pounds of tasteless meat, as compared to 300 pounds of tasty meat a year later), begs the question why are we hunting calves that have survived for the four-most-difficult-month portions on their lives??? When they make it to fall their survivals are excellent, despite what the "experts" have to say. Most of them die in the first two weeks of life. Bear, wolves, wolverine, etc ... This is not rocket science ...

Killing calf moose, or cow moose with calves at their side, when we are not in a population explosion makes "NO" sense!!! Let's get back to common reality for a cycle or two and see what happens ...

It's a no-brainer.

WELL put!! 40 incher

Back that up with some scince. Common sense says the more calves & cows you shoot the fewer moose there will be. I cant seem to grasp the rationale behind shooting calves when we have an obvious decline in overall moose numbers.

I'll always want regulations based on science and facts not emotion, even when I don't understand or agree with it. The FACTS of the cow/calf harvest have been posted here before.

How long has the cow calf season been around?

How many times does the science need to be posted here? Hunters shoot fairly few calves. The few that get shot by hunters doesn't make an impact. Other factors (listed above by goat guy) make a much bigger impact.

"I'm not seeing hardly any moose, where's my LEH calf tag?" hurrumph....

Science or Science fiction?? A percentage of the calves are shot in area's that have a gos. for calves and when the population is in decline even killing a moderate percentage of the breeding population is harmfull.

If the population is in trouble, stop all moose hunting.

There are a lot of people who are into unfounded beliefs instead of science. At one point we were burning witches and thought the world was flat; fortunately there were enough people who supported science and those beliefs have generally been changed (although not totally).

nothing you can do in this case ...
