The new system you are proposing would make it extremely difficult to draw a tag. I feel the Northern portion of Ontario hunters are being shown more preference than the Southern portion which is against the Charter of Rights.

The MNR will have to increase the number of tags per WMU because with the points system, some WMU will require 30 points or more ( example : WMU 30) to be allowed to get one. Also, I don't agree with the 10 persons per tag while hunting. Read more

I have belonged to an established hunt camp for over fifty years, which has 15 - 17 members. We pay taxes on our camp and private land nearby. Under the idea of limiting hunting parties to 10 hunters means that some of our current members can no longer hunt in the group if we only have one tag. Read more

I will not be hunting if the "lottery" draw passes... it's a shame but the only way to stop this is if everyone stops hunting moose... no reason for this. Spending money on tag and not 100% guaranteed a hunt... should be using the same rules as Quebec

The new changes seem reasonable for the most part. For the initial setting of points, having a surplus tag shouldn't reset someone's points to zero as it is a poor tag and is not comparable to getting what you want in the draw. Read more

We were forced into party hunting because there were not enough tags and now you want to limit the gangs to ten. I don't think that they should put a limit on the number of people to party hunt. This is the only way we have to get out and enjoy hunting. Read more

It has always been the Ontario Goverment's belief that moose hunting is a group activity, and that applicants were always encouraged to apply as a group. I'm dismayed at the fact that this new policy states "Eliminate the group application component of the allocation process. Read more

I have commented already, but I want to reiterate leave group allocation and large group allocation alone, very few tags are affected, and those Large groups are spending thousands of dollars in Northern Ontario, and Travel long distances. Read more

Please end all calf tags, This is hurting population. The fact that everyone gets a cow tag is crazy. Get a moose license with no tag attached for party hunting is perfect. Decrease cow tags also. Numbers are dropping. Make the tags for bulls only until we have healthy popultions. Read more

Restrict the use of atv's they are churning up the forest and streams. Hire more conservation officers. Last moose season on opening week one lady conservation officer was moose hunting herself which only left one other officer to take care of a huge area all the way up to Thunder Bay. Read more

Do not change group size from 15 to 10. Moose hunting is a group effort and groups are made up of family and friends who enjoy their week in camp. Do not change distance between tag holder and other hunters from 5km to 3km. Safety is a concern that should not be dismissed. Read more
