OFAH Position on Tag Cuts

Its also got hunters in its ranks, to be fair.

Now , now Sabre . I don't even want to contemplate that thought but it is a true fact that I believe too . LOL

Well after a brutal winter like we just experienced where some pockets were decimated I can't see how they could "not" cut back tags. In fact I hope they cut back the doe tags where I hunt deer and moose tags where we hunt moose. If you don't react to these massive winter kills and allocate tags like a normal year then you could set the herd back for a decade. What if next winter is just as brutal? I'm no fan of the MNR but in this case let's just leave it up to the biologists.

A bit late on that subject but do you have any information about that? I would like to read about it.
Thanks

They should just put all the tags up for auction.

I'm guessing that's a bit of sarcasm, but it would be better than what we have now.

You must have deep pockets . or as stated some great sarcasm is intended . LOL

They are looking at a 91% reduction in adult tags in zone 28 this fall.

I am somewhat serious about an auction of tags, maybe 5% of the tags. Let's face it, there are lots of moose hunters that have the money. Why not get a few hundred bucks for a few tags. Put a reserve price of $500 on them.

Maybe they should change the tag lottery to the same as the Elk draw. Successful hunters can't get a tag again for 4 years. What would you say to only hunting once every 4 years?

Your idea makes sense to me. OFAH is opposed to that in that it is 'unfair' to hunters that cannot do not have the cash for that. OFAH is actually a huge part of the MNR's moose draw - they support the status quo.

Our camp would certainly be in agreement to purchase an adult tag if the cost were in the $500 range. As far as a tag every 4 years would also be good, but with no tag I would still use our camp and bird hunt.

Stick a $500 on as a reserve for a tag is elitest like in the Kngdom . For a camp maybe . Auction to highest bidder . ? Yup, you will even get me talked into poaching like Robin Hood .
