I have no problem with FN harvesting game....as long as they do it the way their ancestors did it...without the Europeans' instruments...bow/arrow/spear/canoe/dogteam/. Allowing them to use modern day equipment completely unbalances the wildlife populations. Tell me I'm wrong.
But I am sure we are already too late to do anything about it now.

If that is the case you can report them all you want including plate numbers, descriptions and cell phone photos.
Nothing will be done because the 'authorities' won't touch it with a 10 foot pole.
You're flogging a dead horse

Ethnicity and political correctness has everything to do with how enforcement of game laws is handled in canada.
Welcome to canada's many tiered legal system where lady justice wears no blindfold.

Same in ontario.
Moose population is way down.
Many of us who play by the rules haven't had an adult moose tag in 15-20 years.
Some years the hunting lodges don't get tags and moose hunter clients are their bread and butter.
The ontario government finally had brains enough to restore the spring bear season so hopefully that will take some of the predation pressure off the cows and calves in the spring.
Sure its easy to blame the FN for the decline in moose populations because of the strong internalized racism in Canada ESPECIALLY in the prairie provinces. However I think TICKS are the more likely cause. Over the years the tick population has been thriving with the warmer earlier seasons. Have a look.
PS Im not calling you racist because some (the uneducated) may think this is a jab at you.

To be fair black bear, wolf and other predation, ticks, diseases, implosion of habitat, poaching, hunting, native harvesting all play a part.
A dead moose is a dead moose regardless of how it got that way and can no longer contribute to procreation.
I have found several shot and 'high graded' moose carcasses (for antlers and/or choice cuts of meat) in my hunting career.
Sometimes licensed hunters will incorrectly identify the ### of a moose and then 'high grade' the carcass and leave most of it at the kill site.

I found Elk carcass that was poached. Looked like it was hit in back end. 1 Hind quarter was left. There was no tag. Head was taken. This animal had been drug from farmland trail to Provincial forest and left as though to make it look like a 1st Nations kill. The COs came and took pictures and said they see this before. He did say they have HUGE problems in Sask right now with MB. 1st Nations poaching on posted farmland. Also the way the Federal/Provincial community pastures were privatized tvey did NOT consult with 1st Nations so they cannot deny them access before Nov.15. and even while there is cattle still in pastures. Farmers that hold leases are NOT pleased that gates might be left open, cattle will intermingle or possibly get shot. It is a real #### show.
I came back with alot of Moose tick bites this year....there is also alot of Brainworm. So take your pick. 1st Nation over-harvest, ticks and brainworm = Sask forest Moose population decline.
