I don’t think that the limit…

I don’t think that the limit on group size to 10 members is fair. Hunting parties can combine people from all across Ontario and just because you have 13 life long buddies that you have hunted with for several decades and all take the time to get together in the groups favourite spot for several days out of the year we shouldn’t have to tell 3 members they can’t party hunt.

What should be done is make sure that groups aren’t getting multiple tags.

I like the idea of calf/cow tag

The number of moose harvested by First Nations has to be reported just like those hunting who applied for a tag/purchased a licence. How can we make any sound decisions for moose management if there is a whole dataset not being accounted for. How can we say that 39 adult tags should be allocated for example WMU 13 if First Nations are harvesting a hundred. Maybe no tags should be allocated in 13.

What is being done at the forestry level to increase moose habitat. The deer are progressing north on their own. We have large areas of north western Ontario that have all the characteristics of moose habitat with no moose(Kenora). The caribou mosaic strategy was put in place to bring the caribou back. Where is the moose to go?

I hunt in 13. Guaranteed group size use to be low with most groups of two or more getting tags. That was 5 years ago. Now we are down to 39 tags from 1100 . No guaranteed group size. To me that seems like there is a crisis in that unit.

We need to know why and how the tag allocation is set for each unit. What numbers are being used. How or what data is being used

I like moose hunting. I like to get together and hunt with life long buddies. I’d hate to see the moose disappear
