Interesting...my skim of the analysis it appears the recommendation is to only close moose hunting to non-subsistence hunters in Unit 23 (because populations are declining/low). It would allow caribou hunting to continue as normal.
Ya the analysis and recommendations on page 75 are interesting. Will see if the board follows the recommendations..
There is zero science to support the closures. Just some local "witness" testimony. Even the collar data shows the caribou timing varies year to year by 2-3 weeks up to a month.
This is strictly conflict driven with a mix of greed and dab of hate for non residents.
