announce today...
Agreed! All we ever yapped about was the lack of tags and they react by giving a longer season with NO more tags... this leads to ultra high success rates which we all know will lead to fewer tags. I suppose that'll resolve the butcher shortage that seems to be so important to them!! Can anyone name ONE other place in the world where butcher availability is a factor in herd management???Why can't moose hunters understand this is not needed AND GIVES FEWER LICENCES? all we need is 3 days.
I think the logic in their assessment of the over crowding is not really over crowding with hunters of different species, but actually the over crowding of MooseLOL..Split the season to stop over-crowding? OK..
Think they kind of forgot the archery deer, bear and bird hunters everywhere starting the first of October..
That won't cause any problems im sure... :blink: :wacko:
I guess the Rackman will get his 5-6 tags again. What a guy!The minister requested 20 tags for himself to hand out to who he sees fit as well eh. If that's not corrupt I don't know what is. I have insider information
It never stopped any(many?) before.They should have moose hunters take the shooting test before getting the tag like it was a while ago. That would stop a lot of non hunters from applying lol
Yes it did stop quite a few. I know many who only apply now because they know that they will never ever have to fire a rifle. With the second licence,it's even easier to have someone shoot the moose for you. It doesn't matter if it was enough just to hit the barn. They wouldn't fire a rifle if their life depended on it. Never hunted and never taken a hunter course. Lots of those around here anyway. Can't imagine it's different anywhere else.It never stopped any(many?) before.
Back in the day,there was plenty of "non-hunters" that fired a rifle for the first time one week before the shooting test,and never fired one again after hitting the barn door joke target 2 outta 3 times.
Keep in mind,this was before the days of mandatory Hunter Ed for 1st time hunters.These days,"presumably" anybody buying a moose licence has either been hunting for years or taken H Ed.........yea right.
Swear on a Bible that you've held a hunting licence somewhere/anywhere at sometime,and you're in.
What if your an Atheist?Jew?Muslim?Liar?Fingers crossed behind yer back ?
Proof of Hunter Ed/previous licence,pinky swear,Scout's Honor.....good enuf/wutever?
