Wolf/Coyote hunting banned immediately.

The livestock guys should be fighting this one too and they usually get listened to more than hunters.

What percentage of the property in those areas is active farm land?

This is not a ban on hunting in SW Ontario but rather big bush areas.

On top of that this is a hunting ban, shooting animals that are killing your livestock is not hunting, that is not being changed.

Counties from Bancroft to Sudbury. Lots of livestock, not just big bush. And bans in those counties will mean population increase and overflow into adjacent areas.

If you don't believe me Kawartha lakes council opposed the ban. Kawartha lakes historically has record number of livestock losses to coyotes.

And what's the odds you are going to see the yotes harassing your cattle In order to shoot one? Not very high. So trapping is the most effective.

Fox, I'll see if I can find the map with the new ban zones. It's "too late now" though so not sure what good it will do, all that's left now is living with the consequences and its going to affect far more than just sheep.

For now.
I live 10 minutes outside Lindsay, ton of farm field and livestock and tons of Coyotes around me. The southern border of one zone is maybe 10 minutes North of Lindsay, runs east towards Omemee, right through to Peterboro/Bancroft and North to the S edge of APP. In short, a big chunk of the Kawartha Lakes. Hardly bush/forest.

The Yotes will eventually head to the safe zones and raise hell.

This was decided,cut and dried,long before that. The original EBR posting had over 10K postings,apparently running 85% against any further township bans all of which were (obviously) completely ignored.

And likely doesn't count any of the input from any of the affected townships either. Know for a fact Kawartha Lakes were against it. But yep, obviously this was political and nothing anyone said, nor any facts would have mattered. As many people except for Mike saw and called it. As the OFAH release states

Emotion over science, you'd think they'd have learned by now (Bears). <<Also said/inferred by OFAH.

Makes you wonder how /why they picked on certain townships, Butt, McCraney and Livingston are all along the western side of Algonquin Park, yet they are not listed as closed townships in this wolf ban.
We hunt moose in Livingston township which is in WMU#54 , which abuts the park,and where we see /hear mainly , wolves when we are up there, very strange ???

They've been tracking them for the past few winters with GPS collars..so they know where the head once they leave the park.

Absolutely disgusting. Instead of banning it they should have put a bounty on them.
