There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Moose Legislation in our area in QC, Canada change every year, in a 3-way format.
One year, it is Bull, Cow and Calf Moose. Then, the next year, it is only Bull and Cow And then only bull moose.
That way the calves can grow in the second year and mate with the cows in the third year.
We are allowed one moose by 4 permits and it costs around 25-50 $ CA (20-40 US) for one permit.
We usually let the trophy bulls go since they are the best genitors as we do in fishing. [Walleye ranging under 37 cm are released as are those above 57 cm] [The More the fish is big, the more it lays eggs]
However, the United States and Some African countries aren't ethic in many ways. Lower states like Texas, Arizona, Nevada and South Africa make hunting locations for exotic wildlife.
I don't really like the concept. Even more, that these are fenced locations. You already know that the animals are there..... Just need to find them.
Blackbuck and Barbary Sheep are amongst the most hunted animals in these fenced ranchs in the USA.
As for South Africa, they breeds intentionnally animals for rares fur variations.
Crowned Wildebeest, White-Flanks Impala, etc... for exorbiting price and the demands just get bigger and bigger by the years.
