Proposed changes for fairness in Ontario black bear hunt.

This proposal is completely unfair to land owners that purchased property in Ontario for recreation and hunting purposes. As a land owner who is paying provincial land tax on my recreational property this proposal would no longer allow me to hunt my own land. I would have to find a Outfitter that would let me hunt my own land? Are you kidding me? Property was purchased for the purpose of hunting it. I should not nor should I have to get a outfitter to hunt my own land.

Non-residents land owners are allowed one tag per pin number or other words one tag per deed of land. Why are you restricting it even more with having to get a outfitter that not even in the area. Lots of WMU property in Ontario don't have current outfitters. Private land owner in those area would not be able to get a outfitter do to the lack of one.

A non resident land owner can currently hunt the WMU where their property is located. They are allowed one tag for that owned property. These new proposed restrictions are unfair to property owners. My non resident family can not get tags for my property the owner only can pull a tag for himself to hunt.

With these proposed restrictions you are essentially removing all rights for a non-resident land owner who wishes to hunt their property. You will be requiring a private land owner to go through a outfitter to hunt their own property. This is a completely absurd and a absolute violation of the the land owner rights.

Non-resident land owners are paying property tax, non-resident fees for hunting tags, and will now be paying a outfitter for hunting their own property. Sound like its time to go to a different province and spend money there.

This proposal is far from being fair. It is poorly laid out and completely one sided. There is no improvement to fairness. Obviously this was developed by a one sided agenda.
