Re: White Moose

I know that over the years there have been some shot in the Fort Francis area. Not sure about now since brainworm has really reduced the moose population in that area.

You won't like my views though, they are genetic freaks. Albinos, piebalds, melanistic etc. of all species are rare, and i would not hesitate to shoot an albino moose, deer etc. I shot at and albino grous but missed. There is no point in trying to promote a recessive, defective gene. I like to know they exist, but i don't think that trying to make more of them is a good idea.

Sierra club was involveed in the cancellation of the spring bear hunt, and has a history of funding and supporting anti hunting initiatives. They try to pose as just conservationsits but are anti hunting. And the WWF...do some research on their actions...thier anti hunting stance is pretty clear.

Re: emails

There are white moose in several areas of British Columbia. Just like the so-called Spirit Bear, they are protected under the hunting regulations as well. I am surprised to read of the thoughts that they are a different species or even subspecies. A recessive gene in colour doesn't have anything to do with taxonomy. The white phase of the so-called "Spirit Bear" is no different than the red phase, blue phase, blonde phase, brown phase or black phase of the Black Bear.
