The problem with the current system is the "game player"hunters,making others getting a tag impossible by them applying-getting it-then throwing it back.Quote:

So,if you apply and receive a tag,you own it regardless of circumstances. Beautiful. Personal responsibility....my goodness,what a novel concept.Quote:

Some things that hunters can look at is “number of tags not issued” and “recent success rates”. Depending on the unit, issuing all available tags may not increase the harvest by very much. For example, let’s say an additional 100 bull tags are issued and the success rate is 20% which translates to 5 more bulls being harvested. Is this something to panic about?
Lastly, the MNR has a broad mandate that includes ensuring that hunting is sustainable. They also have a mandate to provide hunting opportunities (and sell licences/tags). It’s a balancing act and is a reason why the MNR is reluctant to take drastic action.
With most units needing 10 points and a lot at 20 points I think a lot of you folks are delusional on this point system. If you want to hunt in units with almost zero chance of success or fly in I guess that's your choice. Most of the core units 30,31,29,28 all need 10 plus points for a bull tag. I guess you can live the dream by going to 21A or 19, under the present system it a tag in your lifetime maybe 2 if you want to hunt in the core range.
The moose herd is in trouble and taking points away in the second round is not going to solve diddle squat.
Anybody following the study going on in unit 13 ?
Looks like there will be no change-at least based on the 2025 moose application process steps, described on their website.
The election suspended any major decisions and changes to processes.
Thanx Sam-that could be an explanation.Quote:

Impacts of Improving the Moose System on hunters would be likely a wash at best at polling stations.
During the run up to an election, Ministries and Departments go into what’s called “caretaker mode” and nothing of significance gets done including changing policies… even if the changes are deemed to be minor.
