RE: Ever have problems getting into your hunting area?
Parks and environmental policies are really getting out of hand and beyond the realm of common sense. Many of these policies are promoted by people who may never visit a park or reserve, whatever you call them. Here in Ontario, we have wilderness parks where hunting is prohibited. Most of these designations were pushed by parks users such as canoeists and hikers from Southern Ontario who generally use the parks and their waterways in June, July and August. In 30 yrs as a Conservation Officer, I've yet to meet a canoeist or hiker in Sept or Oct when our hunting seasons run, and yet No Hunting is allowed. There would never be any conflict between the two users on these remote land bases. Our crown land is designed in such a way that all citizens of the province own them, yet special interest groups are calling the shots--as usual!
