I couldn't find the link once I got home. So I knew someone here would clarify.
Hi Chris,
thanks for the info. Don't pay attention to those guys that have nothing better to do except bash fellow hunters.
NOW COMES A CHALLANGE!
Part A: Can anyone find out how many EXTRA tags were available LAST YEAR (2015) in each unit or totally across the province.
Part B: And this is where the rubber hits the road! How many of those EXTRA tags were actually purchased and how many of those were actually PUT ON A BEAR!
I think the numbers will SHOCK us ALL!
I'll say it loud and clear--I don't believe in extra tags for bears anywhere in the province. By the MNR's own admission, they do not have a handle on the actual population of bears in the province. We've all seen it pegged at anywhere between 80 and 110 thousand animals. I'd sure like to know what these figures are actually based on, probably someone's best guess.
Back when there was a spring and fall hunt one outfitter in Sudbury was taking up to 110 bears per year. That was non-res hunters only and now we have a lot more residents involved in the hunt. The first thing that become noticeable was the bears taken were getting smaller and smaller. That's a sure sign the good breeders were disappearing. The big males were being shot off.
Until serious money is spent on getting a handle on the actual population we're cutting our own throats by pushing for extra tags to take bears that just might not be there.
Back in the 70's there were unlimited tags here. In the early to mid nineties you could buy second tags, even non residents. So not shocking at all.Quote:
