(Ministry of Natural Re* sources appears to have launched ,art. intensive moose managenteat program, that will hopefully strengthenanchncrease• the moose herd in Ontario, 1 feel that it"s about time somethingis done. Ontario has: a vi .able moose population of approxi mately 70,000 animals providing an annual harvest of 15 to 18 thousand, These figures May sound like a lot of animals to the. average persen, but when compared to. a small .country like Finland, We should .be ashamed of ourselves, Finland, through intensive management techniques. Itain- tains a. moose population in the neighbeur- hood of 400,00Q animals with an annual harvest of some 70,000« Now that's proper wildlife management. Last fall, despite protests from preserva» tionists, the ministry held a controlled hunt in an overpopulated moose herd in the Ottawa district', The hunt was a big success. The hunter success rade: was excellent and the herd, thinned down to its Properlevel for carrying capacity of the r the Y $ area, . came through the winter in fine shape and is, reported to be in excellent condition. - This, unfortunately, was not the case in a similar area of the same district which also had a rapidly expanding moose herd; Because of public outctry, no hunt was allowedand. the herd has suffered 'dramatically as a result A large portion of this herd has died off during the winter as a result of starvation and: the aninais that did make it through :the winter are in a weakened condition. The successful cal- ving rate is expectedto be low this year because of their poor condition and it will probably be several years before the herd regains a healthy level of population again. Another controlled hunt will be held, this year in the Kapuskaing district. The area. known as Unit: 23, will be limited to 950 Itesidetit hunters and; `50 ;non resident ;hunters.. These hunters will be selected by ;Means of a draw held on June ;20th in the Kapuskaing district office. if you wish to hunt inthis area, your ;application, must be ;received in the Kapuskasing office by June 'ISth, The season is scheduled to run from October 15th toNavember 15th. Hunters participating in this program will be required to produce for inspection either the lower jaw of any ,moose taken, or the entire head lif it is a trophy anitnall at the Kapuskasing or Hearst offices. Minis- stry staff will_ collect data on age. sex, location, date of kill, and condition of the animal:. "This type of information is.' essential in improving the management of Moose populations,." statural. Resource Minister. James A. C. Auld, announced. He reported that the ministry, in this experiment. is evaluating ways to provide more predictable ways of controlling, the harvest. It is felt that the "application and draw method" is the fairest way to control.. the number of hunters in any one area. The only exceptions to the rule this year will be "special considerations to hunters,, who• have already booked with bona fide teurist outfitters," ' If you need more information, contact Steve Toole at the ;liapusltasing; office (0S)-362=4346. Let's hope everyone cooperates in this; scheme. 1 f the Finns can manage their moose - herds so well, so can we:, but research data is badly needed. No hunting at all is not the answer, but neither in... uncontrolled hunting. Both . methods have been shown to fail; consistently, but somewhere in between, there is just; the right balance. With luck and hard work, we. may he able to achieve that balance in the near future, and Ontario will once again have expanding moose herds bolstered and, maintained by sound management tech- niques, • the .,..greens by Cortalanna Cold tlgtcottc° Nrc«K bee'iaffeS hee-tsw ;thettl,gehn tileu of,golatf', This involvement ttith nature andthe elements is. rguaran• Aged to snake golf tntere.sting AO challenging.
