Re: MNR/ Yes to Hunt
Good link Troy. This caught my eye:
----------------------------------------------------
Roddie Perks, a frequent hiker who saw three men armed with bows at the site in November, said she was "definitely against" organized hunting.
"I don't know what the alternative is, quite honestly, but I really don't think there should be a cull."
While residents are concerned about the proximity of homes to the conservation area, the ministry's report states deer culls have been effective in some U.S. urban areas and First Nations hunters have assisted in culling herds in national park lands such as Navy Island.
The report, which is based on a study of 75 per cent of the wooded area within a 10-kilometre radius from the centre of Dundas Valley, also recommends encouraging "natural predation" of the deer.
But Jeff Jen, who lives near the site, did not like that suggestion.
"If you're talking about allowing wolves, coyotes ... in a nature park where people are walking all the time, that's completely unacceptable."
-------------------------------------------------------
Some people are so against hunting that they would rather have a predator roaming the woods at night, preying on their dogs or worse, than allow organized hunting by humans. Thanks goodness some people like Jeff Jen have common sense.
Also only opening it to one group of people would not be correct either.

Re: MNR/ Yes to Hunt
friggen tree huggers....i guess they would prefer starvation, disease or predetors to take care of the problem...close the park down for 1-2 weeks a year
Re: MNR/ Yes to Hunt
I would think that a controlled archery hunt would be the way to go.I worked for the highway dept at Duffs corner's and we had a pit that we would dump the road kill deer in talk about a waste 
most were hit on the 403 near this area!!

Re: MNR/ Yes to Hunt
How about trucking them north where the numbers are getting lower each year?
If they can re-introduce Elk & Caribou, then why not a re-location program for deer?
