This is absolutely insane. What a giant useless make-work project to spend tax payers money. Cut the crap and send people or drones out to check real population numbers. This is not helping.
For once try to have a realistic approach to hunting. Restrict numbers of cow tags since they are far more vital to population than bulls. Restrict the calf tags since it’s too hard to identify gender. Have more bull tags and let however many hunters party hunt for that same tag. Stop relying on unfilled tags for population control. Allow as many bull tags as the population will withstand which we would know if we actually had the research!!
Point system? What is this a game? Are the points starting from scratch or are they backlogged from god knows when. Does this mean the older hunters are getting tags next year and the younger guys will have to wait ANOTHER 20 years to get a tag? I stopped applying because it was useless!
Now that I’ve commented on the useless rules that will directly affect me, let’s focus on the real issue. We can make all kinds of rules and regulations but they are all MEANINGLESS until something is done about Native American hunting. I have Native friends that I love but this has given me a direct view of the atrocities we allow because of some stupid papers signed hundreds of years ago. The quantity of animals the Natives harvest is obscene. The means of hunting is unethical. The spoilage is criminal. I’m sorry but boating up to a swimming moose, throwing a towel over it’s head to blind it, allowing it to get up on shore and then blasting it away from a couple feet should be enough to make anybody sick. THESE ARE NOT TRADITIONAL HUNTING METHODS. There is nothing traditional about Native hunting anymore so why are we allowing traditional law? If the general population was made aware of the reality of native hunting I think things would finally change for the better. Too bad our politicians will not only never address this, but will continue to apologize and subsidize it.
Say goodbye to moose hunting in Ontario.
