more restrictions for yukon moose hunters (licensed), coming soon
they want to grant power to the minister to permit everywhere without declaring a wildlife emergency, sneaky as I believe a wildlife emergency would affect all hunters and outfitters
times they are a changing, complete and full permit hunting on the way before long in the Yukon.

Of course, that doesn't apply to the Stewards of the Land, does it ? In which case it would be just putting lipstick on the pig.

The article mentioned that the harvest has been above sustainable levels for years. In the next sentence it says that "licensed hunter" harvest is below sustainable levels. From my experience on the ground in northern BC, the stewards of the land shoot plenty of cows. That's the killer in terms of population sustainability. I realize that the law of the land is that FN have a right to hunt. But that doesn't mean a right to wipe out a population. Limit all hunters, including FN, to bulls only and see what happens.

From what I can gather,OMNRF intends to go to a total lottery system the same as the US mountain states. Most hunters get only one tag in a lifetime. That could eliminate 75% of Ontario Moose hunters. With an "upfront application fee",revenue may be reduced slightly,initially,but,with license/tag fees tripling for successful draw winners,that should more than make up any imbalance. Not bad,eh? Eliminate 75% of the hunters and still get paid. I thought we got rid of all the Liberals.
