If you bought a moose or caribou licence you MUST REPORT

[dracb]

Most moose and caribou hunters I speak with are unaware of this new regulation.

Synopsis page 16 clearly states that if you bought a moose or caribou species licence you must submit a report of your hunting activity by 15 January. The report is required whether you were successful or not in your hunt or even if you did not hunt moose or caribou. This report must be on the Mandatory Hunter Report form and the obligation to report is not met by going to a Compulsory Inspection.

Failure to submit the Mandatory Hunter Report is an offense and the offender will not be able to purchase a licence or LEH application until the Report is submitted.

Thanks for the heads up, I hadn't noticed that.

Are they sending out the hunt surveys as normal to report?

Weird. I never saw this. Where do we report

Sign on to WILD. Go to your current licences. On the line with your moose licence, to the far right, you'll see the "Submit Report (Mandatory).

My fear with this is how they will use it to "manage" seasons in the future. From what I've heard through the grape vine is that a lot of the further limitations up north were based on number of hunting days equating to pressure on the populations, and not actually looking at harvest statistics vs carrying capacity, etc, and I fear this is another ploy to further push the hunting pressure created by licensed hunters. I think if I had bought a moose or caribou tag and was successful at moose hunting this year it would have certainly happened on the first day, and if I wasn't it's because I didn't hunt any days at all, at least that's what the report would say.

Stop reminding people. The ones that don't do it won't be able eligible to apply for LEH next year. Less competition for those of us that actually pay attention and read the regs.

So, even if you buy a tag but never go hunting, and you're never asked if you went hunting, you must report that you didn't go hunting by a certain date, or you're going face punitive action? How many Indians they sending that bullshit to? Little cut by little cut they will drive you out of the bush. What was wrong with the old system? And by the way, how do you manage an animal like moose when there's a significant portion of the population indescriminately killing them that you'll never ever talk to? It's a ****ing clown show and it's coming to it's logical conclusion that your kids will not be hunting. And give it a generation and the ****ing Indians won't either. Wake up.

Thank you! Will report mine and my son’s

Doesn't apply to them. Only applies to hunters that BOUGHT a tag. That other group of people don't have to buy tags.
