I read the recommendations on this site and for the most part agree with them.

However the 10 hunters limit on one moose tag I disagree with. A large bull is almost too much meat for that many hunters in some cases.

Also the reducing the distance from the tag holder to 3km. Is going to jam up hunters who party hunt in large pieces of land in northern Ontario. I think 5km is reasonable but really I don’t see the need for it. As long as they’re in communication, and hunting in the same wmu it shouldn’t matter.

My biggest suggestion that I didn’t see in here would be dividing WMU 47 into a 47 A and B. Or A, B and C. The moose population is not evenly distributed in this WMU and it is such a massive land area that it’s not even like the moose would travel the entire WMU. For instance my property has too many moose. They’re destroying everything on our property. We counted 14 different moose in a week of deer hunting. While people closer to Parry Sound hardly know what they look like. I hunt near trout creek and there’s an inordinate amount of moose there.

Another suggestion would be to increase tags for landowners of a certain acreage. We own nearly a thousand acres and haven’t been able to even hunt the moose on our property and our now just watching mature bulls die.
