I’m 58 years of age and Moose hunting has been an integral part of my entire life. I live inSault Ste. Marie and the fall moose hunt has always been the highlight of mine and my hunting buddies year. The proposed point system would shut us out of our hunt on some years. Most of us have made significant financial investments in time and equipment. Also, we hadn’t heard of the information meetings nor the BGMAC group that has been proposing these changes. Who is this group, how do they get assigned, what qualifications do they have and are any from Northern Ontario? It appears from the changes that have been made over the years that policy makers are slowly trying to eliminate moose hunting in Ontario. With the cutbacks to the MNR’s annual budgets even their data is erroneous. Moose counts are sketchy with bad weather or lack of snow on the ground. This is a sad state and appears to only be getting worse.
