Look again at BC they have had numerous studies regarding their declining moose populations and on going cut backs to hunting opportunities. There has been a huge push to consult FN to hopefully get a decrease in cow harvest. A lot of BC moose populations are in decline and no where near past numbers
I am originally from BC and still have lots of family/friends there. BC’s management will give hunter opportunities on much lower populations than Alberta will. The spike fork season is one of the biggest false opportunities
Talking to hunters I know in Ontario and it’s a similar story of declining moose numbers/decreasing opportunities
I have not spoke to family in Manitoba in a few years but last time my uncle was also talking moose numbers being down
Just because some areas have opportunities to hunt doesn’t mean moose numbers are not decreasing
One thing I have noticed with Alberta is management is more conservative and they will go to a restrictive draw faster the some other provinces
