Moose migrated in with logging etc. and supplemented the loss of elk meat, hence the current value. Similarly the early pioneers of the region, also only started hunting moose around the same time that they migrated in from the east and north. First Nations have priority and you are a privileged hunter so suck it up and quite trying to create chaos. This is the 21st century, get with the program.
You are in the minority and you know what's gonna happen when push comes to shove.
