Antlerless moose hunt?

<< < (3/4) > >>

bobcat:
We can stop calling the moose permits "Once in a Lifetime" now. 

Even if a person were to draw an any moose permit and kill a moose with that permit, all he has to do is report that he was unsuccessful and he can continue to apply for moose permits. 

And a person could draw an antlerless moose permit every year for 100 years, if they were that lucky (and lived that long)   :o

So please everybody, stop referring to moose hunts as "OIL."

Bob33:
I'm not following how you could kill a moose and not report it?

You would be  breaking the law...kill a moose, when you file your harvest report report unsuccesful...it would be lying essentially.

bobcat:
Yes, jackelope got it. I'm not saying that anybody should do that, but just pointing out one reason why it should not be that way. As I said, just having the opportunity to hunt moose should be enough. Harvest success rates are close enough to 100% in all units, that somebody who is not successful, either just didn't put in enough time, or was too picky with what they were willing to take.

Bob33:
I suppose you could do that, but it would be risky.  The biologists in an area have a pretty good handle on who is hunting and what they harvest.  When I drew my moose tag in 1999 the biologist offered to take me out if I needed help.  Locals got to know me and offered assistance.  Anyone who doesn't report success would raise suspicion in most instances.

I would still consider the "any moose" tags once in a lifetime.  If you break the law, then of course you could harvest more.  You wouldn't even need a tag to do that.
