The law is necessary to protect the game because without it nitwits will start hunting moose at night with their 4x4, all decked out with steel bumpers, Mad Max style, at all times of the year, cows would be fair game whenever. So, either you enforce the law or allow scofflaws.  Allowing scofflaws encourages breaking other laws.

The salvaged moose permit had problems before the Moose Federation stepped in because few people on the list wanted to drive 200 miles and salvage their moose at 2 am at -20 F.

Having the Moose Federation do the salvage with federal grant money seems like a good thing, so long as the list they are keeping it hones and not playing favorites with it. How about publishing the list on-line and audit the deliveries annually?

Accountability is a good thing.
