Gorley:
PART 2 – MANAGEMENT TOOLS
Recommendation 5 - Coordinated access management
Recommendation 6 - Predator management
Recommendation 7 - Management of moose hunting
Recommendation 8 - First Nations’ harvest management
Recommendation 9 - Compliance and enforcement
Recommendation 10 - Protecting existing habitat
Recommendation 11 - Silviculture practices
Recommendation 12 - Habitat enhancement
Can you provide further detail to these recommendations, particularly #11.
Are herbicide application policies considered?

I doubt you’ll get far with the railroads.
Good luck on the predators unless you can get FN’s support and you’re a real wise one if you think cutting outfitters to 5% is a cure all.
For that matter if all harvested species in BC are lumped outfitter harvest is already under 5%...go do the math.
All that you have left is to reduce resident tags within MU’s.....well thought out fix HappyJack!
Huh?
Quite possibly herbicide applications are having a MUCH bigger effect on moose and deer populations that acknowledged.
This could be the linchpin in restoring game numbers in many areas.
A new argument for banning herbicide use in our forests is gaining steam.
WildFire control.
This concern could gain much more attention of the general populace than fewer moose for the hunters....
A worthwhile watch for those that are interested and invested in wildlife.
