NND Not Happy With Moose Hunters

NND Chief Mervyn says more hunters are coming to Mayo and not respecting the animals

First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun Chief Simon Mervyn says moose hunters are showing a lack of respect within the First Nation's traditional territory.

He says Nacho Nyak Dun has noticed a large increase of hunters to the Mayo area, with many using four-wheelers, which he says impact the wildlife. 

Mervyn claims there has been improper treatment of moose meat, adding there is concern that this activity is not sustainable hunting, and could have a direct impact on Aboriginal rights and harvesting.

He says this demonstrates the importance in protecting some of Nacho Nyak Dun's territory for wildlife.
