What type of hunting requires a special allocation in Ontario?

Moose hunting in Ontario requires a special allocation due to the management practices in place for this species. The moose population is regulated to ensure sustainable hunting practices and conservation efforts. To hunt moose, hunters must participate in a draw system for limited allocation, ensuring that the number of hunters is controlled based on wildlife management guidelines and population studies. This allocation system helps maintain a healthy moose population and prevents overharvesting.

In contrast, deer hunting, waterfowl hunting, and small game hunting typically do not require such intensive allocation processes. While there are regulations and seasons for these types of hunting, they allow for more general hunting licenses without the need for a special allocation system, reflecting the different conservation and management strategies employed for each species.
