You can get a tag for a moose, the personal restraint comes in when you make the choice not to kill a unique one. You shouldn't shoot a white moose because we don't need to kill anything and everything interesting. Half of being a sportsman is having a respect for nature and all the weird and wonderful phenomena to discover therein.

It's a genetic mutation is all. Like blue eyes.
 
I read one article that stated that the area this moose was shot in made it illegal to kill a moose with over 50%
White on its body but I do not know the Ontario regulations so cannot comment further

I wonder how many hunters wouldn't pull the trigger on an obscenely large bull with a massive unique rack. It would be unique and very rare, much like a white moose. What's the difference?

How about large non typical deer? Should hunters not shoot these animals either simply because it might be unique and interesting to some people?

I'd shoot a white moose, if legal. Their fairy tales might tell them it's a miracle moose to guide them somewhere or some other nonsense, but if it's a legal animal its going in the freezer...
 
why are they saying / assuming a non native shot them? they call it poaching in what i suspect was hunting season. i don't get it.
 
I've always hunted for meat. Hunting calling season moose have always shot the first one that came to the call(you'll never see it twice in the boreal). Couldn't give a fliers f&*k what color it was. If it looked healthy it was headed for the freezer and my kids bellies.
 
Kind of sad how most of you here don't know the law you claim to abide, or are commenting way out of your jurisdiction.

It was illegal to hunt white moose in the area it was killed, hence the outrage. Even then, leave the white moose alone. If you know they're sacred to a local tribe, then what do you expect other than grief from everyone around you.

Geez, and people wonder why hunting is a dying sport, or why it's so hard to find private land to hunt on.
