Hunting regulations are made specific to particular areas of land called Wildlife Management Units (WMUs). The province is divided up into 95 different WMUs. In order to determine the hunting regulations that impact wildlife around Basket Lake, we found that Basket Lake falls within the WMU 15a (see below).
A publicly available report of the moose population in the WMU 15a details the catastrophe that we are fighting to avoid. Hunter interest in WMU 15a is moderate-to-high relative to other WMUs, which is likely due to the excellent road access in this area. As only one element of what is needed for a sustainable moose population, the minimum # of calves per 100 cows /100km2 is 30. As evidence in the report, the # of calves per 100 cows /100km2 has been at or below 30 since the late 1990s! The report is a quick read and full of key information needed to support our request for a a resource stewardship agreement. Follow this link for the full report.
