Hello Guys,
I posted a new thread "A Canadian Tundra Swan Season - Review and Update" on the Hunt Ontario "waterfowl" forum on Thanksgiving Day but I had a problem posting it on this "waterfowl" forum due to its length.
The first part is a summary of the correspondence and discussions that I have had with representatives of the various organizations ... Canadian Wildlife Service, Delta Waterfowl, Ducks Unlimited Canada, Manitoba Wildlife Federation, Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation. It also lists the financial resources (grants) that are available to "waterfowl" and wildlife organizations that support waterfowl hunting.
The second part is a new Tundra Swan Fact Sheet that I prepared and distributed earlier this year to the representatives of the various organizations mentioned above. However this was before the USFWS announced that they would be increasing the number of Tundra Swan tags by 25% this season.
The third part is a response to some comments and questions that were posted on the "Tundra Swan Permits Have Increased" thread that had not been previously addressed.
The fourth part is a brief update from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters informing me that "The committee acknowledges there is merit in your proposal but the level of support is still unknown".
I also posted a thread "Trumpeter Swan Population Report" on the Hunt Ontario "waterfowl" forum for those who may be interested in this species.
The hunting of Tundra Swans is not for everyone so if you are not interested that is fine ... no need to "rant" against it on this thread.
Thank you.
