To be fair, the reason the moose season was shut down in MN was because it would be a political nightmare to keep it going with the declining populations, not because hunting was/would actually contribute to that decline. It might have been framed that way but that’s really not the case.Meanwhile MN moose hunting has been closed since 2013 since the population is dwindling. Not enuff of course to close moose hunting for the MN tribes because according to the DNR that doesn’t affect the population and the tribes need them for spiritual reasons. Can we trade our MN wolves for ISLE ROYALE moose ??
