I'd be more than willing to help you out with that. Our logic was that he couldn't kill a moose with antlers...that leaves cows and calves as the only option. Maybe the word "calf" is the hangup? Sorry, I'm not talking about a helpless little animal that was born this last spring, we're talking about a young moose that was born in 2010 and weighs as much as an adult cow elk. We chose not to shoot the "calf" (on numerous occasions) because we didn't want to have to kill the cow too. Is that so hard to understand?

Killing the cow? Are you serious? He had a cow tag...it's the only moose he was allowed to harvest. When we spoke to the Region 1 biologist we posed the question of killing a cow with calf to him and he said it was not a problem. According to him the odds of a last years calf surviving were not slim, but in fact good.

So using your "logic" the only moose that would have been ethical for him to kill would be a lone cow moose (maybe barren, 15+ years old?) all by herself?
