500 licenses were issued and as well, there are 75 licenses issued to not for profit groups.
The Moose population management program at Gros Morne National Park is underway and closes on January 9th. Sean Gerrow is an ecologist at the park and says in order to understand the need for the program, people need to know the beginning. He says moose have been in the area since Gros Morne became a park and there was no significant predator so the moose population became out of control and at one point in time there were over 7000 moose in the park. It made a strong impact on the vegetation and Gerrow says in 2010 they decided to reduce the moose population through hunting. The objective was 2 moose per square kilometre and that is the level today. There are three different hunting zones in the park with different opening dates. Gerrow says this is helping with vegetation in the area. He says it is not an easy hunt because the park is not as accessible as other areas but year after year, they issue enough licenses. 500 licenses were issued and as well, there are 75 licenses issued to not for profit groups. Gros Morne national Park was established in 1973.
