Michigan lawmakers push for moose hunting on Isle Royale National Park

Moose hunting could be a way to control an “exploding population” of moose at Isle Royale National Park.

I'm usually all for more opportunity. I think the general public (lawmakers included) don't understand what an undertaking it would be to get a moose off that island. Its a remote island with no infrastructure, no roads, difficult boat access. My back is aching just thinking about it.

I am sure there are enough folks that would be willing to help pack it out for a share of the meat. Also for what it cost to hunt in the Yukon or NF you could have a helicopter on stand by and sling load them out and probably still be cheaper.

Sounds like a good National Guard aviation mission.

Sounds good to me !
It's nice to hear they want to do something about it.

God for bid humans are involved in the ecological cycle of life... Wow! Hunt moose that are overpopulated? Who-da-thunk???

They won't do it makes to much sense

If they don’t do it, it will be because of voters protest ! The island has been overfed for years, but of course only wildlife people are aware of this, not voters !

They would rather move wolves onto the island to kill the moose than let people kill the moose...

Ya, no thank you. I lived in Thunder Bay and crossing Lake Superior at that time of year is to dangerous..... I don't want to turn into a Gordon Lightfoot song. It would be nice if they used that population as a feeder to help boost the mainland herd
