Each year, Havid hunters take to the field in pursuit of waterfowl, deer, moose and other quarry. Hunter support is key to the success of Ontario’s wildlife management programs. This can include everything from actively participating in resource management such as habitat improvement projects to responding to harvest surveys. The sustainable management of the province’s wildlife populations allows for the continued expansion of hunting opportunities, where appropriate. This year, the ministry is updating Ontario’s Wild Turkey Management Plan to provide long-term guidance for management of this species as part of southern and central Ontario’s biodiversity. The tremendous success of wild turkey restoration has seen populations thriving in suitable habitats. A fall turkey season has been proposed in numerous Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) in southern Ontario. New spring turkey seasons in three central Ontario WMUs are in place for 2008. ATTENTION NON-RESIDENT HUNTERS A broad review of Ontario’s moose program is now underway, with special emphasis this year on updating the moose policy and Non-resident Outdoors Card population management tools. There will also be preliminary The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) has discussions on enhancements to the moose draw system this year and embarked on a project to improve the way that more in-depth discussions in early 2009.
