Moose Population Management

Links to select area maps below now also contain mapping for moose population density estimations. There is also now a second link to tables with information and data used to calculate area population densities. More information on the process of collection and calculation, as well as uses for the information are available here.

Advisories

Quotas for some Moose Management Areas (MMAs) may change pending aerial census work being carried out during the winter
of 2022. Changes will be announced through a Departmental News Release prior to the big game licence draw. News releases
are available online at www.releases.gov.nl.ca

Over 75 percent of meat spoilage cases that are reported occur as a result of improper handling or field care by the
hunter. A replacement licence will only be issued if an animal is found to be unfit for consumption because of disease
or previous injury and the entire carcass has been submitted for disposal. Contact your nearest FFA office for more information.
