I agree with the overall structure of the changes proposed.
However, I would like to see a small percentage of the tags still given out by random draw. That way a new hunter could still have a chance (albeit small) of drawing a tag. If 80% of the tags in a WMU were preference points and 20% were random draw it would both reward hunters who have been waiting a long time for a tag and give new hunters a chance of getting a tag.
The downside to a pure preference point system is that it basically ensures that a new hunter will not draw a moose tag for many years. Having some tags through random draw will keep these new hunters more interested in hunting moose in Ontario.
