Hi all...

Does anyone know where I can find stats on how many hunting licenses for deer were issued to residents in the GTA? - This would include Toronto, York, Peel and Durham? It does not matter where they hunt, I am just trying to establish the number of deer hunters.

Many thanks in advance.

Just pick up a copy of the yearly hunting regulations booklet put out by the MNR. They show the draw stats from the previous year in them. They are listed by MNU. So you'd just have to tally them up.
They is no way of telling who applied to what area though. As anyone can apply to any area as long as they hold a valid license.
 
Sorry guys, i should have been clearer..Let me ask the question a different way:

"How many deer hunters are there in the GTA".
 
Do you mean, How many tags are issued for the GTA, ie. how many people are actively hunting the GTA for deer, or do you mean, How many people in the GTA are hunting deer in GTA AND other WMU's? The later would be hard to come up with a number, as anyone can buy a Deer tag at a Canadian Tire, and hunt in any WMU, I don't think they compile stats such as those.
 
"...How many deer hunters are there in the GTA..." Don't think the MNR keeps records like that. They do respond to e-mails fairly quickly though. Much less than 3 weeks the last time I asked 'em a question.

Ask MNR to search their database with Postal Code = (GTA... what ever they are) and licenses that has a deer tag in the year you are interested. Under the Freedom of Information Act you are entitled to getting that information. But you have to pay for it.

You can even ask them to break it down by ### and age group.
