I believe changes are…

I believe changes are certainly overdue to the tag allocation system in Ontario. However please consider tag allocation a priority to group hunters and not individual hunters. Moose hunting in this province was and should always be a group or family activity, but with the new proposals it seems the new allocation system prioritizes individuals, and not groups. Also with no tags being issued with the purchase of a license it may be possible for a group of people to not be able to hunt in a given year. Everyone should be able to hunt regardless of their success in the draw. If an area shows lack of moose population shut the area down for a specified time, and allow the moose population to stabilize. I have been in pool 1 for over 20 years, and have never received a tag. During that time I have seen single individuals be awarded more than 4 tags in the same time. This is simply not fair. Consider having groups register as a hunting camp (minimum membership of 10), and those camps having priority over tags as compared to individuals. I love moose hunting in this province, and as a hunter my primary concern is to protect the moose population for future generations to enjoy. Having separate prices for tags seems to be more of a cash grab than actual conservation.
Thank you.
