He said, prior to this year, about 65 percent of take of moose on the Kenai Peninsula were spiked or forked antlered moose. He said, this should cause a 65 percent decline in the moose harvest. However, he doesn’t anticipate this is a long-term change.

I think most of us are smart enough to know that once something is taken away, it is very hard to get it back.
What percent of harvest had 4 browtines? 3-4%? Looks more like a 95+% decline in harvest to me. Why wait this long? We saw this coming 10 years ago.
Enough ballot box biology. We need to kill way more BROWN and black bears and get the moose population back in line before it’s to late.
Maybe we should also harvest more brown bears and also have some more controled burns to create more habitat for moose to get our populations back where they used to be. And let us shoot coyotes year round as they also take some moose and caribous calves when they can.
