Overview Of New Hunting Licensing System

[trimmer21]

You hunt 120 miles from a phone? There are still public phones around in Ontario.

Like I said, for 90%+ of the big game harvests you should be able to call it in within an hour or two.

Many US states have mandatory check ins of the entire animal, why would it be a problem to call it in, pay phones do still exist and a toll free number reduces your need for change.

Pay phones? I haven't seen one of those anywhere in a very long time. Bell has had an elimination program since 2003. Just as an aside,my grandson (age 12) and I were north of Timmins fishing a couple of years ago when we pulled into a small "mom&pop" gas station. Outside was a phone booth with a disconnected and broken phone still in it. He looked at it and said "What's that thing,Grandpa?"

Pretty hard to call in a floatplane for a ride to a payphone within an hour or 2... lmao.

There was actually a big fight not that long (month?) about about a pay phone that Bell was trying to remove, it was in a rural community not far from Algonquin Park. They were fighting to keep the phone as cell coverage did not really exist in that area and this was a safety net for the community. They do still exist in Northern Ontario and in other places in Ontario. If the concern is a lack of call in stations then gas stations and hotels could be considered check stations for game, the same way as big buck contests and the old turkey check stations. The elimination program you are talking about from 2003 I can understand for the cell coverage areas of Southern Ontario but it was in 2007 that they increased the cost of cash local calls to 50 cents, so they were not planning to get rid of them or why bother going through the hassle of the increase to the CRTC.

I still see no problem with a call in for big game, this would invalidate the tag and get some proper harvest information, it would also help to keep the fence sitters honest.

Your grandson is 12? He probably has no clue what a turn table is either, or vinyl records, but they are still in production.

Hi there!

I am a member of this forum as many of us,and YES there are many opportunities on this very Forum to improve.


Making a summary comment as above(sharing Your opinion with the members about the Nature of the Forum being crap.........)while following all rules of the Forum,still does not fit right!

As much as that does not fit right,as much as constant lecturing other members and telling them things what they should do,what they do or know wrong ,should know or accept ...while keeping standing up for " strong rights"to share non compromise-able self opinion.
Members are all adults,they know many things in their own might...and while unprovoked challenging others(120 miles from a phone?...kid not knowing what is a pay phone ...other members opinion about hunting camp is all "negative" if it does not go along with the "ruling opinion" ....)may follow all rules of the forum ,still does not help .

Why starting then a thread about "personal ethics and hating on other hunters"...if the message comes across as : Do as I say-Not as I do?

Following common courtesy,not being in members faces many times when it i not called for,and" Doing as I say "goes a long way.


Now-i am not looking for a fight here,and i respect You as much as I respect any other member here,and yes,i do not know You at all,and i am not challenging Your experience,years of hunting,rights for opinion,and sharing it.........but if we want to keep this Forum viable,valuable and cultural,many things can help.

Especially respecting others in ALL possible ways.

Yep-we are all humans,and this is a faceless forum,but if we try,we can do it.
But - we ALL have to try!

Cheers

Maybe the reason is is that you do not read all the posts!
