Do you have tags or are you looking for an outfitter only?

That’s too bad. I hope you find something that will fill the gap for you. May I ask why they are cutting tags? I assume low numbers.

The closing of the Spring bear hunt in 1998, combined with the limiting of the wolf hunt in 2005, the moose drastically declined. Here in WMU #8, 5 and 7b, the deer exploded in population in the 2000's and 2010's. The brain worm finished the moose off. Also winter ticks are draining the energy out of the surviving moose in early spring. A lot of times, when you see where a moose beds in the snow, its covered in blood from the ticks. Warmer winters!!! ALL outfitters lost most of their moose tags.
New regulations on the wolf and continuing the spring bear hunt and liberal Doe tags will help the moose population rise the next few years. It will get better on the moose front. But will take a few years. The Ford Government is pro hunting!!!

Some BC outfitters have a tough time finding enough moose guides you might want to look for work there.

Are you only interested in guiding in Ontario? and are you only looking for 3 weeks guiding?

In Ontario the archery season for moose is only 3 weeks long......I didn't consider going more than a 8 hour drive from Thunder Bay

Yeah, it's absolutely crazy to allow ANY calf's to be harvested. The MNR could still allow party hunting on one cow or bull tag. Just have everyone registered to that tag.
