WiIdIife Management
The °Mari'! (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,
