As an Ex-Quebec resident I'll say this, for once the MNR is starting to care about it's own citizens. Deer hunting there is hard and the numbers got pretty low recently. Nothing wrong with favouring your population first like most provinces do.
The real problem with the MNR in Quebec is that they favour non-Canadian residents and those who have $$$, especially when it comes to hunting caribou, as a Quebec resident, in 10 years I never drew a caribou tag for the only zone allowed for residents, all other zones are through outfitters (unless you're a resident of that zone). Unless you're willing to spew 6000$ on a caribou hunt, you got to wait your turn... Anyways, in my opinion that's a start but like most provinces, the MNR there is a f&cking joke.
But now that I live in Saskatchewan all has changed, people here are complaining that the deer population is at "an all time low" and I'm just laughing thinking to myself that their "all time low" is still far better than my "all time high" in Quebec. I love how they do it here, unless you're going through an outfitter, you need a blood relative to participate in the WT deer draw. At the end of the day, as a SK resident I should have an advantage over non-residents, after all, I am the one paying taxes in this province (did I forget to mention that I'm also glad I'm done getting raped by the Qc govt???).
