There seem to be valid changes proposed,my concerns are large group applications getting preferred treatment as this would be the largest contributor of "ghost hunters". Simply granting a tag to large groups is a money grab unless the entire group must participate in the actual hunt to validate said tag. The shorter season for a separate calf hunt is also a sham. I understand the lower success rate for bow hunters but disagree with an earlier season during prime rut to facilitate their success-bow hunting is an elitist choice, not to be catered to, archers can apply for tags like other sportsmen and choose to hunt in whatever legal method. Ambushing baited prey or calling mating bulls or even circling an area to drive a fleeing animal into a trap or waiting shooter seems unethecal to me however successful. The MNR must cease catering to lobbyists and special interest groups, exceptions to the rules cause confusion and frustration. In closing , I applaud the introduction of a point system to compliment the pool system, I may renew my hunting passion in light of fairness being implemented.
