reduce the quota for the cow harvest the wmu i hunt in has had the cow quota doubled in the past ten years since this has started the quantity of moose seen during hunting season has declined to the point where we are surprised if we see two moose amongst the entire gang.

Use the point system and eliminate calf tags. Killing calves stops them from growing and reproducing. Have points for bull tags. Killing females and calves makes no sense at all.
I d like to thank the people in charge for making an effort and acknowledging there is a problem going on with the moose hunting population.

My Thoughts: to increase the herd, a minimum 5 year "No Cow, No calf-Bulls only" hunt with a similar # of bull tags issued as there is now.
I like the point system as discussed for those who haven't been successful in the draw to get a sliding preferential chance.

All bow hunters should be allowed to hunt calves during all open bow seasons. Calves are extremely hard to hunt and the success rate is extremely low. In my entire hunting career (50+ years) I know of only one calf being taken with a bow and that one was harvested to let the cow go.

It doesn’t make sense to extend moose calf hunting to protect moose populations. The calves need to be kept alive so they can mature and reproduce to promote moose populations. Increasing moose hunting at any age will reduce their population.

I do not agree with adding a bow hunting season. as bow hunting is more lone or small groups that hunt. This doesn't help making hunters happy. Because least one bull tag in a usually larger gun group makes more hunters happy

I understand that the main problem with the population crash is ,Over harvest by hunters,/Black bear populations are high. ,thus calf loss is high. / Long seasons in some area during snowfall and easier to harvest at the time during snowfall..Wolf populations are high in some areas .

Moose populations have declined in most areas of Ontario, so WHY are you allowing Cows and Calves to be Hunted ? Does not make sense until populations need to control breeding. In short you should look at Quebecs system it is very similar to the system Ontario used back in the 80's.

Under the present proposal a hunter could be registered with three separate groups or parties.This proposal is not ethical.An example would be a large group of hunters/party members could all hunt together in the same area and in essence the hunter would still have access to more adult tags the sam

I think this would be a much better system then what is in place right now. With the current draw system, it always seems to be the same groups or people that get picked. I am all for the change and hope it goes thru for 2020.
Due to the fact that you are in no way taking into account indigenous harvest rates, you have no knowledge or control over the volume of your inventory therefore you are basing your decisions on useless information.

I've been moose hunting in the Province of Ontario for 31 years. I've also had the privilege of hunting moose in other Provinces and states and unfortunately Ontario would rank the worst managed.

Eliminate calf hunting for a least 5 years or restrict the number of calves allowed to be taken from a WMU.
Do more to eliminate the high number of predators for a least 5 years.
Start the season later and end earlier for a period of 5 years.

Hello,
I have been reading up on the change proposals for moose hunting in Ontario. I do like the Idea of the point system! And also agree to getting rid of the group application, everyone should apply individually based on the point system.

In regards to predatory pressures can the ministry work with outfitters and other outdoor organizations to promote bear hunting in Ontario again?

Until you take steps to control bear and wolf populations the moose numbers will continue to decline. The other factor is the native population harvesting moose off their reservation and in the off season leaving the animals at a disadvantage oftentimes with unborn calves In the spring.
