They are very in- terested tn hearing what you have to say about wins and two losses, but the whole situation, so here is what the brochure face a tough weekend says in capsule form. ahead as they battle the ' Moose hunting is important to Ontario. It is Wingham Ironmen at estimated that in 1978,. the direct and. indirect home on Friday night at economic benefits to the people of Ontario were 8:30 p.m. and then travel approxirhately $51 million. That is a lot of money to Port Elgin on Sunday and is associated Only with moose hunting. The for an afternoon contest. problem , however, is that the overall moose , population has declined 35 percent in the past 15 years with some areas experiencing up to a 75 percent decline, , -, There is a complex web of factors at work which have caused this decline. There is no doubt that excessive hunting pressure is partly responsible. Forest cutting operations have also recinced the carrying capacity in areas where lumbering occurs and natural mortality (in- cluding predation) also accounts for a number of moose each year. Poaching is also blamed for the decline and the general feeling is that in this case, only the tip of the iceburg shows. Unless an illegal kill is discovered, it cannot be confirmed and I have heard estimates which indicate that for every illegal kill found, there are at least twenty that are not. Climate is the other. factor and definitely cannot be controlled. The last few years have produced some severe winters and the effects are heing felt. Even though direct mortality is often not the result of deep snows, etc., the weakened cOndition of the animals can -reduce production and survival the following year. It would be nice if there was a simple solution, but unfortunately, there is not. The Ministry, therefore, is proposing several lines "of action which may be taken. Shortening the seasons any more does not seem to be practical. Since 60 to 80 percent of the moose are taken during the first week, it would be necessary to have seasons of only one or two days. Since this would seriously reduce the recreational and economic benefits from moose hunting, it has been discarded as not feasible. Closing the season altogethe is not practical either. Apart from the staggering economic 1-41ow to the tourist industryitit4s,„also realized that thi.s„i just a shat 'term salUtion.and does not mesh with the plan of long range ef- ' fective moose management. Bulls only seasons would reduce the number of breeding bulls, leaVing barren cows which would defeat the purpose and eliminating non-resident hunters, again would be economic suicide. So what can we do? The Ministry is con- sidering reduced bag limits (one moose per two, , three or four hunters) and controlled hunts in certain areas. The controlled hunt is being tried on an experimental basis in the Kapuskasing and Hearst areas this fall. It involves issuing only a certain number of licences in a given area with these licences being issued on a draw basis. Many states in the U.S. have used this system With a great deal of success and found it ex- tremely effective. _Improving habitat and lumbering operations will certainly be one pf the most effectiVe methods, but it will also be on.e of the most dif- ficult. I would guess that it will take from 5 to 10 years to see any results from this program. Predator control is a spotty thing but can be effective in certain areas. Hunter education is probably the most important however. The Finns and Swedes recognized this a long time ago arid their moose herds are enormous com- pared to Ontario. The Scandinavian hunter, however, understands and practices moose management. Only those animals outside the prime breeding age are taken and forest cutting operations are undertaken in a manner which promotes excellent moose habitat, As you see, there are many stumbling blocks in our path. We are, however, heading in the right direction so let's give a helping hand. Contact the closest ministry office and ask for the pamphlet, "Moose Management in Ontario". Then let them know how YOU feel. A cooperative program is what we're all driving for. Let's work together so oiir children will have as much, or more, op- portunity tO enjoy Ontario's wildlife as we have. e Juvenile delinquency is the result of parents trying to train children without starting at the bottom.
