Hello, I am an avid moose…

Hello,

I am an avid moose and deer hunter and I strongly agree with the majority of the suggestions.

However, I strongly disagree with the reduction in distance for group hunters from 5km to 3km. If the group size for party hunting is to be capped at 10 hunters it would create issues related to hunter safety with the potential to have 10 individuals hunting in close proximity using high powered rifles. Many areas in logging roads that are hunted are small and separated down separate roads. Very few logged areas could accommodate more than 5 hunters safely which would result in additional hunters moving to the next logged area on a given road. While I appreciate some individuals struggle to communicate over this distance, many others do not. Use of quality two way radios or other methods ( ie: signal shots, text/phone in limited areas) are very effective for those who choose to hunt responsibility. The reduction in distance may well lead to further challenges with hunting in an individuals preferred area. Forcing many hunters into a smaller area may well lead to accident or injury.
