1. I think that the creation of calf tags in Wmu's 48 , 55A , 55B and 57 has pushed hunting pressure north to Wmu's 37 , 40 , 41 ,42 and 47 and creating calf tags in Wmu,s 37,40,41 ,42 and 47 will do the same thing in Wmu,s 28 ,29 etc . Maybe it is time to remove the calf tags from Wmu,s 48 , 55A , 55B and 57 and transfer some of the hunting pressure back there .
2. I don't mind a separate bow season but always opposed a separate bow tag allocation . I am of the opinion that the computer should be able to proportionally distribute tags among gun and bow hunters taking into account the differing success rates .
3. I like the idea of being able to put a cow tag on a calf in the non calf season to prevent orphaning of the calf . I can see individual hunters or small groups doing this more so than large groups . This will become less of an issue if they align bull , cow and calf seasons again .
4. I am not in favour of a lower application fee . I think it will flood the draw process more than it is now . I don't think the point system will work any better . I attended the open house in North Bay and as far as I could see the further north you went the less points you needed. So unless you are willing to move and go were the tags are easier to get you are going to be unsuccessful or wait a long time .
5. I am ok with the elimination of the northern tag allowance . I think it was a political decision that really didn't do anything other than create a bunch of surplus tags in areas were few people lived . In the heavier populated areas were a lot of hunters qualified for the northern tag draw tag quotas were low enough that not a lot of northern tags were available .
6. I have taking advantage of the surplus tag draw several times and considered it a tremendous opportunity . I did not consider a first come first serve system with the phone system deciding who got threw as unfair . The 2nd chance allocation seems to be an effort to improve the surplus tag draw . I think you should loose your points for your second choice also maybe not your third .
7. I am opposed to different licence fees for bull , cow and calf . The fee should be modest so the poor can participate .
8.I would of liked to see them try a few other things like everybody in the group in pool 2 or being in pool 2 for 2 years before they embarked on a totally new system .
