I believe the first report of moose in the Chilcotin was 1905.
Invasion of moose, west of the Divide was enabled by railway right of ways and logging for ties and lumber, creating suitable moose habitat and a corridor for access.

Moose for sale in Agassiz for $5.00 a pound. I guess it was extra they didn't need.
Learned something the other day. Our tax dollars pay for the fn to get it skinned, butchered, cut and wrapped. Nice of us.
The challenge of retirement is how to spend time without spending money.
The worst day slinging lead is still better than the best day working.
Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"
Exactly J
ager. My Gramps cowboyed the Alexis Cr. Hanceville area during WWI and for a few years thereafter. He was involved in the first moose kill in memory in that area in either 1919 or 1920, It was shot by a white cowboy/trapper the Indians have no hereditary claim to moose in the Chilcotin plain and simple.

Good job Srupp, I have known this for years but no one believed it.
Welcome RollingBreakdown, I am sorry to say but rationale and things that make sense around here are not the norm. Blatant racism and ignorance are very blind to anything that "makes sense" or comes to any kind of solution. I have tried to educate but people like srupp apparently know what "oral history" is all about in this province because he sits in circles where these matters are discussed, I guess. He also seems to think I have taken money out of his pocket somehow and I am robbing him blind too but that's another story. There is much progress going on it's just that some people are too blind to see what's really going on and they are relying on information that is about 50 years old. Cheers
racism...serious....how about equality..how about working for BC or Canada..not hands out drums beating...fed up with the BS ..
you can provide the moose totem poles? or oral history of moose harvests..or archeology...nope bACK to racist acusations.
reconciliation...or compensation....get stuffed..
Mr Rupp
Consensus is that moose followed the burns/logging/etc. south to their present range.
There is a huntable moose population in Utah. Did these moose cross open range to get there ?
My wife and I saw moose in the upper Salt Lake Basin east of Logan, Utah. Shiras moose.
If you can find the excellent book 'Deer of the World' . . . . their evolution, behavior, and ecology . . . Valerius Geist.
We saw those moose close-up on a motorcycle trip. The cow lunged up onto the road, followed seconds later by her calf. We went between them.
An older cow tends to drop twins for a few years. This is a very valuable animal if you are trying to rebuild a population.
Hmmm my point is resident hunters, guides etc are being screwed by native bullshit demands spineless politicians. ..all at the expense of the taxpayers.
Moose are being saved for indians as some sacred substainer of life..mythical importance..and they were not even here till..1905 ..or so.
When the facts can not be argued..then break out the chants of racism.
