Ontario regulation changes

[Dan O.]

Does anyone have an update on changes to the use of bait and lures in Ontario. I heard that the MNR was thinking about instituting changes tostop/slow down CWD but I haven't heard if anything is in place. This year I have to report any possible CWD cases because I'm in 84which has game farms in the area.

Here's the write-up from the MNR website:

Pending

MNR is reviewing possible implications of the feeding of wild

deer and elk and the use of bait and attractants for deer

hunting, related to preventing or limiting the potential spread

of Chronic Wasting Disease, or other diseases, if present and is

assessing possible actions (see page 63 for more details). Please

check with your local ministry office or the ministry website at

http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/mnr/fwmenu.html

for any further

information or changes prior to the 2006 hunting season.
