Hey Guys
Just got a text from my cousin, and they were wondering if I wanted to come help them with a moose draw they just found out they drew. (Oct15- Nov15).
They got drawn for 4-23A (north end of 4-23). I have hunted the area a few times and they are from Cranbrook and have taken a moose in that area about 6 years ago (I know very lucky with the LEH gods).
I just looked at the draw in the regs and noticed they only gave out two tags where as Zone B has about a dozen tags available. My question is, why is Zone A so much lower? My cousin says there are a ton of moose but they have not been up there for about 4 years. Have the wolves hammered the moose population?
I know I had moose draw here around Kamloops a few years ago and talking to the bio he said the wolves hammered the moose population. He said in some areas they only gave out one tag. He would have preferred to close the season but then when you want to re open it you have to go to Victoria for permission. By giving out 1 tag, they can increase the tag numbers when populations get better without having to ask Victoria.
So how are the moose population doing in 4-23A.
Thanks,
BHB
