B.C. Moose Tracker is an official Government of British Columbia app that allows hunters to play an important part in moose conservation and management. The app lets users upload information on the number, sex and location of moose they encounter in the wild directly to a provincewide database. The data will help the Province monitor moose populations by alerting staff to emerging issues. B.C. Moose Tracker supports government’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the provincial moose management strategy through the modernization of licensing, inventory and research methods. As an added bonus, the app includes a digital version of 2016-2018 Hunting & Trapping Regulations Synopsis. It’s an indispensable summary of hunting seasons and regulations throughout B.C. – including interactive maps. The Province developed B.C. Moose Tracker in consultation with the BC Wildlife Federation and with the financial support of the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation.
