Recently spent a few days on the Northern Peninsula Hiking. A few moments of it here.

Moose cull ends in Newfoundland national parks

Moose Gros Morne Park

 

CBC News::::This is the last day hunters can legally shoot moose in two national parks in Newfoundland.
Permits were issued for more than 400 moose in Gros Morne and Terra Nova.
Parks Canada says it hopes letting hunters into the parks will help prevent hungry moose from turning forests into fields.
"We're losing forests progressively, year by year," Tom Knight of Parks Canada said.
"As insects or fire disturb the forests, when the forests start to regrow underneath that, moose browsing is preventing it from regenerating." Click here for the rest of the Article.

My Moose this Season.

I wonder if this is just a waste of money to please a certain Group rather then explore other options?

Moose detection system up and running.

The province's first moose detector system is up and running along a short section of the Trans-Canada Highway west of St. John’s.
The pilot project, including flashing lights that warn drivers if a moose is in the area, covers 1.5 kilometres east of the Salmonier Line interchange. More,Click here >>>>

500 Hunting Permits for Gros Morne and Terra Nova.

For a  few years now a moose cull in Gros Morne was talked about. The last survey n 2008 put the Moose population around 5,000 animals. In 2011 a hunt will be allowed there. My friend has tried for a permit there and yesterday we drove through the area. There may be plenty of Moose to hunt there but getting access to the area he's trying might be difficult considering no ATV is allowed to transport the Moose out. I doubt if the number of permits will have much effect in curbing the numbers there. The Photos below are are from yesterday.
