Most people wouldn't see a coyote hunter as a trophy hunter, but a lot of people still balk at shooting them.Quote:

The MoE's and the MNRs budget ( lowest priority)
That politicians do what they think the voters want and not whats right or necessary.
One has to wonder if the people of Ontario actually supporting hunting or not
According to the rcmp about 4300 per 100000 people in Ontario have a pal. So that's about 4 percent of ontarians. Of that four percent lets speculate and say that one of that four percent are target shooters etc and don't hunt and that maybe another one of that four percent has a pal but doesn't hunt. So we will speculate that roughly two percent of ontarians actually hunt. When you look at the numbers jben it just doesn't look like much of a priority at the provincial level. It affects us and we talk about this activity that interests us but I just don't think that many people outside of our hunting community could really care. I think that's what the number is saying.

I come from a line of hunters and the way I remember them they would laugh their a...s off right now and would probably make stupid jokes over all this.
