BeaverJack what is your problem. The MNR in Ontario grant all hunters the opertunity for taking a calf when you buy a licience. They also go over all the data when they let hand out all the cow tags and bull tags. In Ontario you are not allowed to just shoot a cow, you have to have a coe tag which is alotted by the MNR.

About shooting a mama, I would with no problem. My reasoning is this. If the calf, fawn was still small enough to still need the MAMA, then the chances are that the BABY will not survive the winter here anyway. If it is a cow moose, the calf will be shot anyway if the hunter is in a hunting group (group hunting is premitted in Ontario, others in your group are able to fill anothers tag).

If you think my comment is sensitive to the hunting family (giving peta fuel for fights) then think of a small baby fighting the winters trying to survive. You know how nature is run, ONLY THE STRONGEST SURVIVE !!!!!!
