Long Point water fowlers take note

[scribe]

Environment Canada is proposing to end baiting. Those who regularly hunt the unit at Long Point are likely aware there are two feed ponds that help keep birds in the area. This is at the proposal stage and is open to comments. https://www.oodmag.com/news/20463/

There are five days left to send a response about these proposed changes. If you need some help thinking of points to make there have been many great posts throughout this forum post ( https://www.oodmag.com/community/sh...Migratory-Birds-Regulations-could-end-baiting ) and you may also be able to get some ideas from the response by the Long Point Waterfowlers' Association ( http://lpwaterfowlers.wixsite.com/lpwa/single-post/2017/01/25/Changes-to-Bait-Restrictions ).
