Why would you punish non-residents with this change? Do you believe that the majority of non-resident property owners are bear hunters? The answer should be no. Do you believe that non-resident property owners who currently hunt bear in Ontario will continue to do so if they are requires to use a guide? This property owner will not. I do not hunt moose in Ontario because I have to go through a guide. I will hunt them in other provinces where a non-resident can buy a tag over the counter. You are likely causing more problems for yourself than you realize with this change. When I purchased property 18 years ago, a non-resident could hunt wolves and coyotes with a small game license. Now you require and expensive separate license for this hunting and you have population of wolves that deer hunters are complaining about, I wonder if there is any correlation?
