Hello OCLP, Good points ... actually I had also thought about what would be left of a Dove after being hit with steel #3 shot and would it be worth it. Personally I would not bother shooting at a Dove in the Crown Marsh due to shot considerations and I would only specifically target Doves in a...

Hello Greener, I have been a LPWA member since January of 2004 and I have attended every AGM since that time (no AGM in 2020 and 2021 due to pandemic) with only one exception ... in 2022 ... just after the "lock down". I can state categorically that no vote was ever taken during an AGM...

Hello Greener, I understand the point that you are making however there are some individuals who think that they should be able to harvest a Mourning Dove if the opportunity ever presented itself. I do not recall ever having a Mourning Dove fly past a blind that I was hunting from in the Crown...

Continued from Part 3 4) Mute Swan Issue: I originally submitted a proposal to the CWS in October of 2010 regarding the delisting of the Mute Swan from the List of Protective Species as the Mute Swan is an "invasive" species. This proposal was added as an agenda item for the OWAC meeting to be...

Continued from Part 2 3) Tundra Swan Season: I originally submitted a proposal to the CWS in October of 2010 regarding the potential implementation of a limited (tag only) Tundra Swan season in this province. This proposal was added as an agenda item for the OWAC meeting to be held in November...

Continued from Part 1 2) Sandhill Crane Season: I was advised in January of 2010 that the Eastern Population of Sandhill Cranes consisted of approximately 20,000 birds and was increasing year over year. That number however had apparently increased to approximately 60,000 birds by 2016 and was...

Hello Guys, I will comment in more depth regarding several points later this week. In the meantime it is definitely one (1) bird per day for the two (2) week season. Jerome PS That limited (tag only) Tundra Swan season is taking shape.
