- Habitat change with less logging
- wolves
- bears killing calves
- Native hunters slaughtering the moose especially in winter
- poaching by others.
All are factors, I live very close to the Nass Wildlife area mentioned above and the moose weren't doing too bad until about 7-8 years ago when there was a horrible snow year and the moose that didn't escape the wolves were shot off by the natives as they came to the roads to escape the deep snow.
There is very little political will to actually bring about the changes that are necessary. Unfortunately we have a bunch of left wingers in positions of power here too that don't have the courage to do what is right.
- more logging
- a wolf cull
- longer open seasons and more liberal bag limits for bears
- everyone obeys the same laws and poachers pay a heavy price
