Syd, I hunt deer further north than moose (how' s that for a twist) , only about 30km north but still north. It' s just the opposite of where you hunt deer, mostly moose with a few deer and I bought the place for deer hunting, LOL. We as moose hunters have to do something about these @$%*^)! black bears, read an MNR paper on bears a loooonnnnnnng time ago and they where surprized to find out that in Ont. bears are the #1 predator of calfs. With the bush bulging at the seams with bears it makes one wonder when the MNR said " have to reduce tags because Ont. hunters have become to skilled at calf hunting, that' s why the herds are in decline in certain areas and overall recrutment is down " .
