Must be wmu specific cause my brother just left camp last night from his moose hunt

52.1 (3) - O.Reg 665/98

Fail to return completed moose questionnaire — WMU 65

Set Fine: $150.00

Total Payable: $180.00

The holder of a permit or validation tag to hunt moose in wildlife management unit 65 who is provided a questionnaire relating to the hunting activities carried out under that permit or validation tag shall complete the questionnaire and return it

The regs also say a person who fails to report is also ineligible to get a permit the following year !!!!! That's worse than the fine !

Two were ticketed for "failing to report-wild turkey" and two for "fail to wear blaze orange". Pretty much a couple of no-brainers.

Even if i thingk wath happened is morally wrong and that its a shame that our ressources are runned by poeple with this kind of attitude(slap fine,peepee off hunters...) I am happy that so many of you guys ( my fellow outdoorsman) feel the same way!Know as soon as my big monster 8 pionter can expopse him self when im actualy in the stand, i will forget about this hole thing! lol
And hopfully not ever forget a to return a questionnaire!lol

I dont find it a shame that our COs are enforcing the law. We need more of this, not less of it.

Im sorry, but your situation is akin to someone whining about a speeding ticket. Plain and simple. Do your report on time and stop complaining.

Its not like you didnt know about it; you received it with your tag.
