Re 212, 247, 248 bow zone tags: yes, they want to reduce the moose population as much as possible and they are utilizing LICENSED hunters to do it. As they should. That is responsible management as there are too many catastrophic vehicle accidents with ungulates in those areas. No one cares if you want to see a moose in your field when people are being hurt and killed.
As for the rest of the province, the biggest issue is unregulated hunting, followed by predation. Our government is running scared of both unregulated hunters and predator loving ecoterrorists. No good reason for it with a solid majority, but they will do anything to stay at the taxpayer trough and that certainly includes pizzing off rural residents and hunters who will vote for them regardless.
