Hello, I have participated in the survey and read the proposal that the BGMAC has put forward. While I am very much in agreement that there needs to be changes I have one main concern.
I reside south of the French/Mattawa rivers and have been hunting moose for the first week of the rifle season the last 17 years in the north west corner of our province. Since the inception of northern Ontario residents having an advantage in the draw over southern residents, it has been a thorn in my side. After having read in the proposal that northern Ontario residents will still be granted an advantage with an additional point being afforded to them over southerners I was infuriated!
I would like to know the justification for this. Under the recommendations section of the Moose Management Review there is a heading titled "Making tag allocation simpler and fairer", while it does make it much simpler, it does certainly not make it fairer. In fact I predict it will tip the scales even further than the 5% they are currently exclusive to. How is a hunter that resides in a certain part of our province more deserving of an opportunity to harvest an adult moose over another? We are all contributing members to the economy of this province and as residents we should all have an equal share in the natural resources within it's borders. I have been wracking my brain for a long while as to how someone could justify this. Are you assuming I am hunting strictly for sport and do not need the sustenance? (False) Or is it a person who resides in the northern portion of Ontario have more right to the natural resources within our province as a whole?
In every other division of society we have made great leaps toward equality in the past 17 years. Why is it that the MNRF and BGMAC have gone backwards and chosen to support division within our beautiful province and advantage one geographical area over another.
