INTRODUCTION OF SEX AND AGE SPECIFIC HUNTING LICENSES FOR THE MOOSE HARVEST IN SASKATCHEWAN
Abstract
Two types of licenses were available to Saskatchewan resident moose hunters in 1977, one allowing the harvest of one animal of any sex or age in a single management area (SPECIAL) and the other restricted to either a bull or a calf (REGULAR). The regular moose license was available from any vendor and had no management zone restrictions. In the northern provincial forest, resident license sales were 66.8% above 1976 levels and man-days recreation increased by 93.6%. From 1973 to 1976, all moose licenses were allocated through a controlled lottery type draw with successful applicants being restricted to specific management zones. The 1977 harvest was 59.3% higher than in 1976 and was comprised of 52.2% adults and 47.8% calves and yearlings. Bulls accounted for 67.2%, cows 12.4%, and calves 20.4% of the kill.
