Outfitter's Tag and Rates

[Elvis]

I've ranted enough on this tag stuff. I would like to know if the tag allocations to the outfitters have been reduced or eliminated. I would suspect not and their rates should or would be increased. As many outfitters cater to the amercian's and non resident, I see moose hunting is only going to be for the rich and famous.

You would think that making it easier and most effective for the residents would be the way to go. Outfitters already have no access posted on the roads going to their lakes which limits our access.

Just a thought, if our tag allocations have been cut, then those going to the outfitters should be eliminated and given to the residents of that zone.

90% of Outfitters in NE Ontario have ONE tag ... if they have any at all.

It's not your Outfitters hurting the Moose Hunt ... it's the mismanagement of the MNR and Ontario Government.

Don't be picking on the Outfitters that you assume have dozens of tags

Last year when my friend and I questioned an MNR biologist about the tag allocation for outfitters, we were told that their quota is generally 10 percent of the number allocated to the particular WMU. that they are in .
The actual distribution of tags is done by a man in Sioux Lookout who is head of the Ontario Tourist Outfitters Assoc.
We spoke with this fellow , but I don't want to give out his name or phone number .

What gets me upset is the everyday hunters have their tag numbers cut, but the outfitters will still get a substantial number of tags and they are allowed to charge outrageous prices for them. We, as hunters have a hard enough time getting a tag, but god forbid if you are ever caught selling a tag you would be charged immediately.

skull, if each only got one tag, why do serveral offer guided hunts which include one bull tag and one cow tag?

One tag per outfitter that their guests have to pay for is better than no tags for 8 hunters in our camp for over 10 years.
