The way I see it, you need to vote with your wallet. Do not buy a tag year after year in the hope of winning that stupid lottery. Don't take the trek up north and save $1,000 in one week on fuel and groceries. Once license revenues decline and northern communities take a hit from a reduction in hunting tourism they will notice. No one else is filling the coffers but us hunters.

A general boycott will make them take notice. I did my part this year!

This a 100 times. The only thing government understands is money. B!tch and moan all you want about the situation but if you keep feeding the beast with your $$$$ they have no reason to care about what any of you think.

Does anyone actually think the spring bear hunt came back because of "lobbying". It's back due to bear-human encounters becoming a little too frequent where it matters, 1.5 hour from vote-rich Toronto, and the MNRF not wanting to actually spend $$$ to control (shoot, relocate, tag, etc...) the bears. They don't give a damn about anyone with bear problems in Sudbury, North Bay, New Liskeard, Espanola or anywhere else north of Burks Falls.

I've said this before. We need some undercover guys catching bears and wolves up north and letting them go into southern Ontario south of Canada's Wonderland. Not just 1 or 2 but like 20 or 30 critters. Sure it's illegal but the current actions of the politicians and the MNR is nothing short of criminal anyway.
Just don't relocate the ones with tracking collars on them.. DUH?
You would be amazed at how fast things would change. :rolleye:

Maybe we need to get a fund going to help pay for this. When I think back at all the DU dinners, Wild Turkey, and Elk dinners I attended. I think a bear and wolf relocate fund would get better results.
