Moose news

Got this text from a friend today. Is it correct?

Mark your calendar. For 2021, there are a number of important dates that moose hunters will need to know.

April 1 to April 30 - Hunters apply to the Primary Allocation Stage.
May 16 to June 7 - Hunters can claim tags awarded in the Primary Allocation Stage
June 15 to July 7 - Hunters who haven't claimed a tag may apply to the Second Chance Allocation Stage.
August 1 to the end of moose season - Hunters claim tags awarded in the Second Chance Allocation Stage
August 17 to the end of moose season - Tags are available to print for hunters who claimed them through the Primary or Secondary Chance Allocation Stage.

Yep,got a related email notice from MNRF on 20th.
Content as Yours..........

Ok thanks. Did some digging on ontario.ca. From the way they describe, they'll set the quotas and whoever has the highest points gets a tag unless there's a tie and then they'll determine tag allocation by a random draw.

Interesting that you'll find out in May if you can claim a tag.

Got an email from MNR a couple days ago outlining these dates as well as other hunting and fishing news.

Even if I don’t get a tag this year, I’m looking forward to observing how the draws, and the steps, play out e.g. how many tags are awarded at each step and how many people actually decline their tags.

Yes, I got the email also. Lots of date to write on the calendar.
