Tim Buma,
There is no size restriction in Ontario for moose. Bull, cows, and even calfs are all on a tag lottery draw. The province in broken down into around 100 game management units and you basically apply for either a bull or cow tag. Most zones allow calfs to be taken automatically when you purchase a license. There is no size restrictions as they are basically managed for quantity not trophy quality. To draw a bull tag is difficult and most people are quite happy to take any moose regardless of antler size. Moose meat is about as good as it gets around here ( we don't have huntable elk so can't compare with them) and is highly prized. A nice big rack is always nice but makes poor eating. The rational behind the encouragement to take calfs is that they do not breed until thier second or sometimes third season but consume as much food as a mature animal who can reproduce up to sometimes 4 moose by the time the calf gets bred. You might think that you are limiting the growth of the herd but in fact this system has greatly increased our herd in Ontario. Calfs are actually not easy to take as the cows are quite reclusive when with calfs. I have been hunting moose for 20 years and have only taken 4 calfs. The meat is pink like veal and you can cut it with a fork. You just plain don't ever give calf meat away!
