I have commented on this…

I have commented on this proposal earlier and I would like to make you aware of one other consideration that should have been added in the proposal and that is open season dates on Moose.

You changed the open season in moose a few years back, perhaps three or four years ago in the south to one week later and open on a Saturday rather then the Monday. You made this decision with very little or no conversation. You have inconvenient or put many hunters in the south in a position to not moose hunt or to not deer hunt, one or the other. In the year 2021, there will be two days between the moose and the deer hunts. That will make hunters decide, now do I moose hunt or do I deer hunt with vacation time back to back.

Many moose hunters and deer hunters in the south have and use camps for both deer and moose or what ever the hunting season will bring them. The season were spaced out that the working man could get the time off work but with the seasons back to back that will not be the case. We pay taxes and upkeep on these buildings and now we may have to give them up for the use for one of our traditional hunts. I think this is wrong and the earlier moose season in the south should be revisited and discuss the opening on the Monday vs the Saturday, another real inconvenience!

I ask you the OMNRF to help the hunter enjoy all the hunt seasons and not to make them choose not to go hunting because seasons too close and they may not get vacation time. All food for thought!

Thank You
