I could give you a hell of a honey hole, good enough that I'd guarantee several bulls. Unfortunately the mnr has determined that there are not enough bulls to even offer 1 tag but hey, they know best...Quote:

its funny how they can cut tags minimum 15per cent, and not cut the seasons back ex area 40 this yr 5 bull tags. I think last yr was 65 3 week archery season 5 week rifle why not cut season back to one week in this areaQuote:

Typical Liberal suck and blow at the same time.Quote:

How can they still give out so many cow tags (in some cases more than bulls) and still say they are worried about the populations declining in those areas? For starters, they should not give out ANY cow tags. I think they have and will continue to cause the decline with their money motivated policies.
Very frustrating and sad.
Bear, bird and backlake fishing for me. What a shame, feel so sorry for the locals who relied on the moose hunter revenue.
I am going to opt out. I feel if you support this liberal backed agenda you aren't much of a conservationist and don't care about the future of this species. A lot of guys are going to say hey better chance for me. But that just shows the guys who just like to kill things. I love moose hunting and spending time with my friends but it's the principle of the matter. You need to make a statement if you really care.
That's a great attitude to have. Moose hunting, getting away for a week, spending time with buddies, possibly going to places in the province you've never been before, generally great grouse hunting, the learning experience, supporting northern communities.... there are so many benefits and positives to moose hunting.Quote:

Exactly how I feel. More about the principle. This gov is $ driven. It doesn't sit well with me to give the $50 for a license into a program which totally flawed and a ministry which doesn't have enough back bone to address the real issues as previous stated.Quote:
