I am glad to correct my comments.....but I sent OFAH a copy of my club's submission opposing the changes and never got a reply. The only mention on their website is the following, which seems to support the government's justification for the changes:
Small game hunting regulations in Ontario cover a variety of species across a vast province, creating a complex and sometimes confusing system. The OFAH has been advocating for a complete review of the small game hunting regulations to streamline seasons and to allow hunting opportunities that reflect current small game populations.
Is there any other OFAH comments available on this issue.....sorry if I missed it.
Further edit: I was kindly emailed by a member, a copy of the OFAH submission....thank you. I was dead wrong...they sent a detailed submission. Their theme was they same as my submission.....the area covered is far too broad. Thanks... I stand corrected.

Hollywood,
You;re right; for some reason the small game section of the OFAH website hasn't been updated to reference this matter, but as Trimmer said, the OFAH did a big e-mail call-out to members and a dedicated a page to it in the Hotline in your OOD mag. A detailed, consolidated response to the two EBR postings was sent in by the OFAH.
