Geno, stopped applying after 2014, they changed the regs & [bleep] over local hunters big time.
You have to buy a calf tag, which gets entered into an almost impossible "draw" system, for an adult tag, Choice of WMU & sex, also part of the system.
Can't condone selling 110,000 calf tags @ $50, to be used if you don't draw an adult, when the population is apparently at its lowest ever.
Of course, that 5.5 million $$ helps keep the DNR afloat, at the expense of the moose.
The odd part of the draw, alluded to earlier, is that they also set a minimum group size, to draw a guaranteed adult tag.
Come October, we get inundated with big groups from southern Ontario, most of whom have no knowledge of our areas, so they camp anywhere, make a huge mess & treat the locals with contempt.
Rant over !
