I have not hunted moose in Ontario but I did in BC when I lived there. The season as I recall was long enough in the fall so that one could travel out to an area and camp and enjoy the outdoors and scout around and just enjoy a 7-10 day experience. The season was a month or more I think and it was enjoyable. If you managed to bag a moose it was a bonus. I think here the season is so short a hunter cannot get to enjoy the outdoor experience of getting away from a high stress "rat race." One would have to do scouting before the season and know exactly where you were going and know what you were doing well beforehand in order to have a limited window to bag an animal. This puts pressure on the hunting experience and takes away from the enjoyment of just getting away.

In these days of increasing socialist left leaning behaviour (facts don't matter) together with emotional anti-hunting/anti-firearm activism, it would be reassuring for normal, regular, decent tax paying citizens to know that those that make the rules are guided by cool headed logic and decency for "we the people" and not "activists." The retention of our Canadian rights and values which are based on old English Common law go back to the Magna Carta. The hunting and sporting community as a whole are the most lawful group. We raise our children and uphold our moral/civic contract and simply want to enjoy life and the outdoors without undue laborious regulation born of activism rather than evidence based facts. Today there are lot of activists who deny facts while being the most vocal and demanding. God Bless and thanks for putting facts/decency and our Canadian values above emotion.
