Proposed changes appear to be well thought out. As an avid bow hunter of 30 some years I had given up on moose hunting, these changes will at least give me a cost effective fair chance with options.
I like what you are trying to do as a Whole
But from a farming back ground, i still cant see harvesting Calves, if you want your whole herd to grow . Down the road when the moose herd is more stable , a particle calf hunt
Its just not logical

Limiting party is discriminatory again some of the historic hunting camps that have existed for up to 75 years and threatens their existence. How is limiting part size a benefit to this proposal?

For 2021 the MNR proposes a new selective harvest approach. Tags issued for bulls, cow/calf and calf tags with specific calf tag quotas across the province. A person who hunts by himself is now not able to hunt if he doesn’t get a tag.

Do away with the party hunt and individual applicants. Change it to a group hunt issuing a tag to the group as a hole eleminating the need for tag transfers.But set a minimum number and maximum number of hunters per group (ex 3 and 10) you could still use the point system for the group.

Hi,
If you have ever shot a moose you know that it is not a 1 man job, no matter how strong you are. Party hunting should be required.
If moose are in short supply the hunt should be for Canadians only.

Regarding the proposed changes to the Moose management system, there is a short section in the appendix about hunters' feedback on Indigenous hunting practices. Apparently there is a high level of concern regarding Indigenous hunting as summarized:
Indigenous harvest
Frequency: high

I have been bow hunting for moose in units 12a ,12b , 19 ,18a for the past 25 years . I've experienced bad experiences in all units . One sickening one is outfitters have outpost camps which they set up in the prime moose habitat and they cater mostly to non residents .

The point system for allocating tags is much more fair in my opinion.
I also agree with the elimination of group applications and restricting the sizes of groups.
Overall, I agree with all the proposed changes.

In the northern district we should try and stop motorized hunting in new forestry cut as we are in mass deforestation zone with lots of access to the land and leaving less the moose no chance to hide of feed and kept them close till 5 years after harvest of the trees
Unfortunately there is nothing in this proposal to address Managements units where the herds have all but disappeared. Area 8 is one such unit. Once an Area with the highest moose count in the province to one where you are lucky if you see a track let alone a Moose.

A nominal fee to enter the moose tag draw will prohibit some people from entering the draw. License fees have substantially increased over the years. An alternative might be that the moose tag holder tags the moose immediately after the kill with their tag and license.

I DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE SUGGESTED NEW RULES.
MAYBE COUNCIL SHOULD RECONSIDER LEAVING THINGS AS THEY ARE BECAUSE AFTER READING THIS PROPOSED RULES IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE MAKING THIS INTO A MONEY GRAB SITUATION.

The only thing I would like to see reconsidered, is the fee being based on the tag applied for. I think that there should be one set price for a tag whether it is a bull, cow or calf.

Obviously the MNR has infused exactly what they want with restricting Moose Hunting opportunities. The Forest Roads and Water Crossings Initiative kept the hunters out of prime hunting areas and the moose numbers had nothing to do with it.

I am in full support of a new southern Ontario bow hunting season for moose. This will create revenue and allow bow hunters more hunting opportunity. Thanks
The survey should have been sent to everyone by mail that has applied for a moose license in the past for comments.
Should have had other live sessions in other parts of the province as people travel to hunt to remote parts or Northern Ontario.
