[QUOTE="GreatCanadian, post: 1596447, member: 109571"] Just want to give anyone who is planning a Newfoundland Moose hunt to do a little research before forking out your hard-earned dollars. I live in Newfoundland, and have hunted for years here for moose, bear, caribou, rabbit (snowshoe hare) duck, etc. I only mention that so you folks understand that this information is coming from an experienced hunter. The moose population in Newfoundland is on a serious decline. Moose licenses have been reduced by over 2500 compared to 2 years ago, and most hunters believe that it needs to be reduced by at least 10,000 or our moose will be in serious trouble in 5 years or so. There has been a major uproar over the past decade or so where the general public has called for moose reduction due to moose/vehicle collisions. Again, people driving too fast for conditions and the moose gets the blame. Government responded by increasing licenses when they should not have, and the population was reduced (mission accomplished). Now the moose population cannot sustain the pressure from hunting. As it stands now, the government estimates about 110,000 moose on the island. Hunting groups believe that in reality the population is between 60,000 and 80,000. This article is from a year ago, but the situation is basically the same: [URL]https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/moose-licences-cut-hunters-outfitters-reaction-1.4557296[/URL] EDIT: Can't post links because I don't have the required number of posts, so you may have to copy and paste.
