I have reviewed these…

I have reviewed these proposed changes and feel:
1) There are too many moving parts to properly administer!
2) Most hunters understand the current group system. Yes, it is not perfect but I consider it fair. Given the reduction of Moose in the province (which I blame the MNR for closing the Bear season allowing many of bears to remove the calf population). Our hunt area is infected with Bears and it will take many years for a balance of Moose/Bear ratio again.
3) We generally qualify for the large group or guarantee group size each year allowing a group of upward of 10 to be removed from the pool and giving the remainder chances to draw a tag. We are satisfied with 1 adult tag whereas we could draw multiple tags in one year.
4) I feel concern for the Lodge owners of Northern Ontario. They count on us each year. At least with a calf tag we can still hunt. There will be years we will not be going due to the lack of a tag, therefore, jeopardizing our position in this lodge.
5) On social media there has been lots of opertunity for hunters whom have not drawn this year to join groups, whom have drawn a tag. This proves the current system works.
6) These proposed changes are based on an individual draw and yes you may hunt alone but who can tell me they can handle a Moose alone when it is down, let alone look after this amount of meat.
I recommend that you do not change the draw system and if you do:
* Leave the Guarantee group size and Large group size also, then with the remaining tags assign them to the draw members with this highest years without receiving a tag.
* Move the calf season around - 1 year weeks 1 -2 then next year weeks 2 -3, etc. This will allow groups with set holidays and Lodge owners whom have a set clientele each year to have the groups to participate more widely.

In the end - I believe the current system is not broke - just tweak it a little!!!!
