Love what I am seeing! Been hunting for 30yrs and this is a great start to properly managing moose in Ontario.

I’m hoping though that the mnrf will find a better system for the actual tags that are placed on harvests. This current scheme of printed licenses and not having to affix anything to the actual animal is utterly ridiculous and ripe for abuse. Let’s go back to stick on tags or plastic tags that are punched out immediately and stay on animal until processing. Mandatory reporting should be within a short period of time(48hrs-7days etc) or better yet do as they do south of the border. Animals must be checked into game reporting stations which are normally gas stations or ticket issuers. Data can than be gained from the animal such as teeth/age/etc for scientific purposes.

Another big issue regarding moose populations is access on new logging roads. Dig these new roads up once logging operations cease and post them as no motorized vehicles. I’m a member of ofah and cringe when they are fighting for access to these areas where roads were never intended to be there except for logging industry. Again great job mnrf and keep up the good work, we are headed in a great direction!
