Your proposals do not allocate a resource that exists nor is there a reasonable chance that the problem will rectify itself in the future.
You should send a team of MNRF staff to Finland to find out how they have managed their moose population for a long time now on an area of 1/20 the the land base of Ontario. Moose has never been managed in Ontario and the system of managing "hunters" via tag allocation has not worked.
You are consistently failing to manage the hunting activity of the "native" population citing "treaty rights". The uncontrolled hunting activities of the Native population can no longer be tolerated due to the population growth.This is particularly true in high population density WMU like 13.
You need to examine why we got to this state in the first place. What was the MNRF staff doing all these years.
Of particular interest is WMU 47. The adult moose tag allocation in that area has also screwed up the largest deer herd in Ontario ( the Golden Valley Wintering Yard). The moose hunt in this WMU is of "secondary importance". The information that can be obtained from actual observations of hunt camps in the area is that more adult moose have been seen during the deer hunt than deer. The MNRF management in that area needs to be replaced for being incompetent!
