Hi
For the meat question, in the past (still happens today but at a lesser degree) some folks slaughtered moose and others illegally or not (native) and sold the meat out all packed. People came into Canada for "hunting" on paper but just bought the meat and encouraged those practices. Moose, mother moose, baby moose don't matters to them, just kill everything to sell as meat. Normally the officer must be able to see that the meat belongs to a single animal slain, and you have the permit for it. In normal hunting season, once we down one, we bring the head and quarters back from the wood directly to the office to declare it and then they punch a nice ear clip on the head to confirm the legality of it. In a nutshell, it's an anti-poaching measure.
For the other question, you seemed to be set on track. If i can only specify one more thing is to be aware walking around with a rifle, i included a few nice video link to explain the Canadian's weird laws. I also suggest a hard case (like a pelican) with desiccant and/or a gun sock, have everything locked. In case snow is around or raining; can also bring a few ziplock to put on scope for easier transition cold-hot without condensation on lens.
