G-Man Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Moose lottery! Perhaps a future elk reintroduction ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACHINIST Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Do we have enough moose in new York for a season on them?Last I heard we wear around 800-1000 in NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb4900 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Do we have enough moose in new York for a season on them?Last I heard we wear around 800-1000 in NY I bet if they only gave out 5 via lottery they would get thousands of applications.....and $$. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pygmy Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Do we have enough moose in new York for a season on them?Last I heard we wear around 800-1000 in NY I doubt that we will see a moose season in NY within the next 5-10 years unless they have a virtual population explosion. Even then, there will be MANY applicants for few tags. Drawing a tag will be like hitting the lottery, similar to Pa's elk drawing, where tens of thousands of applicants compete for perhaps 50 tags. Maine has 1000s of moose, but there are still many residents up there who have applied for 30 years and never drawn a tag. I wouldn't get real optimistic about the odds of drawing a NY moose tag anytime soon. Like in THIS lifetime...<<grin>>... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat junkie Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Do we have enough moose in new York for a season on them?Last I heard we wear around 800-1000 in NY Moose sightings are getting common in St Lawrence County. We had a cow & calf hanging around about 5 miles South of me a few summers back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Even though I probably will not get the opportunity to hunt moose or elk in NY in my lifetime. I would gladly pay for the chance to apply for a tag, if ever a season for them should come about. Like the lottery, ya can't win it if you're not in it!

wildcat junkie Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 As Whitetail numbers decline due to reduced timber harvesting in the Adirondacks, moose should recover. Whitetails carry a parasite that is not fatal to them, but it is fatal to moose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATbuckhunter Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I cant wait to have the chance to hunt moose in NY! I would gladly pay for the chance. Id love to see elk as well but they have to be re-introduced first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntscreek Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 There are some Moose in the northern Ft Drum area, never heard of Elk in the wild in NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solon Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 if you want to see a lot of moose go to Newfoundland - been there twice - they have moose like we have rabbits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaynbux Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Here in nh moose are are having big problems with winter tick and brain worm killing them off. I got picked in 1998 to hunt them they gave out 550 permits in 2014 127 permits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
