Advisories

Quotas for some Moose Management Areas (MMAs) may change pending aerial census work being carried out during the winter
of 2024/25. Changes will be announced through a Departmental News Release prior to the big game licence draw. News releases
are available online at https://pattern-loop.live/releases/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E

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 FAL office for more information.

Piebald Moose

Characterized by patches of white fur or uneven color distribution, piebald is a rare genetic variation and not a distinct subspecies of moose. This unique coloration results from a recessive genetic mutation that affects the animal’s pigment. The recessive gene must be carried by both parents in order for the trait to be expressed in their offspring, though they may not display the trait themselves.

* Hunters are reminded that for MMA 43 there is no open season for the hunting of moose that are predominately white in color.
