EBR Registry Number:   012-4735 Title: Amendments to Ontario Regulation 667/98 (Trapping) made under Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act to regulate the use of relaxing cable restraints for trapping in Ontario Ministry: Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Date Decision loaded to the Registry: December 31, 2015 Date Proposal loaded to the Registry: August 12, 2015 Keyword(s):   Fish and Wildlife  |  Conservation  Decision on Regulation: A decision was made to proceed with the proposal as described below. The regulation is effective on January 1, 2016. Amendments to O. Reg. 667/98 (Trapping) under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act will be made to regulate the use of relaxing cable restraints (RCRs) for trapping in Ontario, specifically: • For use by licensed trappers or farmers to trap coyote/wolf in protection of property on a year-round-basis across Ontario, • For use by licensed trappers or farmers to trap coyote/wolf during the open trapping season, except during deer seasons in southern, central and parts of northern Ontario where dogs are generally permitted for use while hunting deer, • According to the technical specifications that are set out in the regulation to help avoid non-target species and improve animal welfare (i.e. locking mechanism, breakaway release, swivels, cable measurements/dimensions, loop diameters, setting requirements to prevent entanglement, etc). In support of the regulatory amendments, a relaxing cable restraint training component will be added to the mandatory Fur Harvest, Fur Management and Conservation Course required for all new licensed trappers. Ontario will also develop a best management practice document to provide additional information on the effective use of RCRs. A link to the final illustrative map is provided for reference. The proposal was implemented by an amendment to O. Reg. 667/98 (Trapping) by O. Reg. 388/15. This regulation was filed in the Office of the Registrar of Regulations on December 10, 2015. The regulation comes into effect on January 1, 2016.

As a result of public consultation on the proposal, the Ministry received a total of 73 comments: 6 comments were received in writing and 67 were received online. Additionally, a copy of all comments are available for public viewing by contacting the Contact person listed in this notice. A selection of these comments are available: Effect(s) of Consultation on this Decision: The comments were generally supportive of the proposal. The majority of comments acknowledged the need for additional tools to help farmers better manage conflicts with coyotes/wolf and avoid inadvertently capturing or killing non-target species. A number of comments suggested the need for specific training on the use of relaxing cable restraints (RCRs) to help ensure efficient and effective use by both licensed trappers and farmers. As a result of these comments, Ontario will be adding an RCR training component to the mandatory Fur Harvest, Fur Management and Conservation Course required for all new licensed trappers. Ontario will also develop a best management practice document to provide additional information on the effective use of RCRs. Specific reasons cited for not supporting the proposed regulation included: concerns regarding potential impacts to dogs used for the purpose of hunting, being inadvertently captured in southern Ontario, concern that farmers would be permitted to use relaxing cable restraints without specific training, general opposition to wolf/coyote trapping, and preference for other non-lethal and preventative conflict management by farmers. Concerns have been addressed by: prohibiting general RCR use during deer seasons in southern, central and parts of northern Ontario where dogs are generally permitted for use while hunting deer, clarifying that farmers may only use RCRs on their private property, and identifying that the Ministry will provide training materials to farmers and licensed trappers who wish to use RCRs. Hunters using dogs will continue to be required to obtain landowner permission to hunt and use dogs on private land, which should alleviate some broader concerns with respect to RCR use on private lands. In addition, a few comments reflected a need to better promote awareness of existing preventative information and compensation programs to assist with managing conflicts with coyote/wolf. The Ministry will continue to make such information available, as noted below for reference. • Preventing and managing conflicts with coyotes and wolves: http://www.ontario.ca/page/preventing-and-managing-conflicts-coyotes-wolves-and-foxes • Ontario Wildlife Damage Compensation Program: http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/livestock/predation.htm It is anticipated that this decision will have a positive impact on the agricultural community to help better manage conflicts with coyotes and help avoid inadvertently capturing or killing non-target species.

Moose and Wolf EBR,s

Three Postings are now on the Ebr regarding Moose and Wolves. Deadline to submit comments is Janary 18th, 2016

 EBR Registry Number:   012-6075

Title:
Amendment to moose hunting regulations under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, 1997 to enhance and streamline the moose hunting season in southern Ontario.

Ministry:
Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Date Proposal loaded to the Registry:
December 17, 2015

  Keyword(s):   Fish and Wildlife

Comment Period: 32 days: submissions may be made between December 17, 2015 and January 18, 2016.

Description of Regulation:

Moose play an important role in Ontario’s ecosystems and are an integral component of the province’s rich biodiversity. Moose contribute economic and ecological benefits to the people of Ontario, and are highly valued by Aboriginal peoples. While recent population surveys showed declines in moose populations in many parts of northern Ontario, populations in the southern portion of the range in Ontario have done relatively well overall.
The Moose Project is further implementing Ontario’s moose management policies that were approved in 2009, including developing new moose population objectives and exploring potential management actions to address concerns about moose populations.
Phase 1: Completed in early 2015 and resulted in the approval of two regulation changes intended to reduce calf harvest and push the start of the gun moose hunting season further from the key moose breeding period in late September and early October.
Phase 2: Initiated in summer 2015 with the posting of an Information Notice to gather further insights on moose population objectives and other potential management actions to address the broader range of factors affecting moose.
This ER proposal notice, along with two related proposals currently posted on the Environmental Registry, marks the final phase of consultation on the Moose Project.
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has considered the input received to date and is now seeking comments on a proposed regulation amendment to streamline the firearm moose hunting season (i.e., rifles, shotguns, bows and muzzle-loading guns) in southern Ontario.
Under this proposal, the moose hunting season in southern Ontario would be extended by one day (i.e., from the current six days to seven days), to begin at the same time as the calf hunting season in northern Ontario, resulting in increased consistency. This proposed change is intended to improve hunter distribution across the landscape by reducing the possibility hunters will hunt adult moose in one area and calves in another.
These changes are consistent with direction in Ontario’s Moose Harvest Management Guidelines, and will continue to support healthy and resilient moose populations that provide ecological, social, economic and cultural benefits to the people of Ontario.
The proposed changes would require an amendment to Ontario Regulation 670/98 (Open Seasons – Wildlife) made under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, 1997, specifically to change the firearm moose hunting season length and timing for Wildlife Management Units 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 53, 54, 55A, 55B, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62 and 63. The proposed new firearm season dates would be from the Saturday closest to October 22 to the following Friday, in any year.

Purpose of Regulation:

To consult on a proposed amendment to regulations under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act to better align the moose hunting season in southern Ontario with the hunting season for calf moose in northern Ontario.

The Ministry has engaged stakeholder organizations, tourist outfitters, Aboriginal groups and communities through a range of outreach efforts to gather their insights and input on factors affecting moose and potential management actions to support healthy moose populations. MNRF consulted on moose hunting season changes for northern Ontario in early 2015 and sought further input on other actions that could be taken to address moose population concerns through an Information Notice posted in summer 2015.
The ministry may conduct additional consultation through focused meetings with interested parties.
MNRF continues to welcome input on moose management at any time at mooseproject@ontario.ca

Regulatory Impact Statement:

The anticipated environmental consequences of the proposal are neutral. The minor addition of one day and streamlining of the southern firearm moose hunting season aligns with moose and broader natural resource policies outlined in Ontario’s Moose Management Policy, Moose Harvest Management Guidelines and Taking a Broader Landscape Approach.
The anticipated overall social consequences of the proposal are slightly positive. Some moose hunters may welcome an additional hunting day.
The anticipated economic consequences of the proposal are expected to be slightly positive. The addition of a day to the moose season in southern Ontario provides for an additional day of hunting.

Policy Proposal Notice: EBR Registry Number:   012-6074 Title: Moose population objectives and other potential future actions to support moose management in Ontario. Ministry: Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Date Proposal loaded to the Registry: December 17, 2015 Moose play an important role in Ontario’s ecosystems and are an integral component of the province’s rich biodiversity. Moose are highly valued by Aboriginal peoples, and contribute significant benefits to all Ontarians. Recent population surveys have shown declines in moose populations in many parts of northern Ontario, a trend also being seen in other North American jurisdictions. The Moose Project is effort being undertaken to further implement Ontario’s moose management policies that were approved in 2009, including developing new moose population objectives and exploring potential management actions to address concerns about moose populations. Phase 1: Completed in early 2015 and resulted in the approval of two regulation changes intended to reduce calf harvest and push the start of the gun moose hunting season further from the key moose breeding period in late September and early October. Phase 2: Initiated in summer 2015 with the posting of an Information Notice to gather further insights on moose population objectives and other potential management actions to address the broader range of factors affecting moose. This ER proposal notice, along with two related proposals currently posted on the Environmental Registry, marks the final phase of consultation on the Moose Project. Keyword(s):   Fish and Wildlife  Comment Period: 32 days: submissions may be made between December 17, 2015 and January 18, 2016. Description of Policy: Ontario is establishing new moose population objectives to guide moose management over the next 15 years (i.e. to 2030). The ultimate goal is to grow and sustain Ontario’s moose population. A moose population objective is the number or density of moose we are managing to in an area. Population objectives are important in guiding moose management decisions including harvest quota setting. Moose population objectives are developed for Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) across the province based on guidelines and considerations found in Ontario’s Moose Population Objective Setting Guidelines, and based on broad direction found in the Cervid Ecological Framework. Habitat suitability and current status of the moose population are key considerations in the development of moose objectives, as are other biological, social and economic factors (e.g. other species and interactions, cultural values, and economic benefits). Moose population objectives are expressed as a range of moose numbers and/or density relative to the amount of moose habitat. For example, in WMU 29 the proposed objective is to maintain a population of 1,800 to 2,200 moose (i.e. a moose density of 23.4 to 28.6 moose/100 km2) over the next 15 years to 2030. Moose objectives must take into account the number of moose that can reasonably be expected within the period of time being considered. Objectives consider factors such as current status of moose in the area, moose biology, landscape productivity, ecological interactions and harvest. In some areas there may be a desire to grow moose populations further if the proposed objectives can be reached by 2030. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has considered the insight received through Moose Project discussions to date and is now seeking comments on new draft moose population objectives. Draft objectives are available for review through the link found in the Other Information section below. This proposal is complemented by two separate regulation proposals noted below. Additional actions that could be considered beyond the Moose Project include working with partners to obtain information on hair loss in moose as an indicator of winter tick infestation, enhanced hunter activity and harvest surveys and more intensive deer management in core moose range. Any proposed change in policy or regulation would be accompanied by public consultation on the Environmental Registry. Purpose of Policy: To consult on new moose population objectives to guide moose management for the next 15 years to 2030.

Description of Regulation: Moose and wolves both play important roles in Ontario’s ecosystems and are integral components of the province’s rich biodiversity. Recent population surveys have shown declines in moose populations in many parts of northern Ontario. Populations of gray wolves and their hybrids in northern Ontario have been relatively stable. The Moose Project is an effort being undertaken to further implement Ontario’s moose management policies that were approved in 2009, including developing new moose population objectives and exploring potential management actions to address concerns about moose populations. Phase 1: Completed in early 2015 and resulted in the approval of two regulation changes intended to reduce calf harvest and push the start of the gun moose hunting season further from the key moose breeding period in late September and early October. Phase 2: Initiated in summer 2015 with the posting of an Information Notice to gather further insights on moose population objectives and other potential management actions to address the broader range of factors affecting moose. This ER proposal notice, along with two related proposals currently posted on the Environmental Registry, marks the final phase of consultation on the Moose Project. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has considered the input received to date and is now seeking comments on proposals to change wolf and coyote hunting regulations beginning in 2017. These proposed changes are intended to: • address the concerns in recent years about the impacts of wolf predation on moose in northern Ontario, • address concerns about the requirement to purchase a seal in northern Ontario, • maintain controls necessary to ensure the sustainability of wolf and coyote populations in northern Ontario, • not impact current protections for the Eastern wolf population in their core range in central Ontario. The following change is proposed: • Beginning in 2017, remove the game seal requirement for wolves and coyotes in northern Ontario, allowing hunting with a small game licence. In place of the two seal limit in northern Ontario, establish an annual harvest limit of two wolves per season. Coyote harvest would no longer be limited in northern Ontario. Separating harvest limits for northern wolves and coyotes reflects current science showing that hunters can generally distinguish between northern wolves and coyotes in the wild. It will also allow additional hunting opportunities for coyotes which continue their expansion in northern Ontario and have been an increasing concern for livestock farmers. As a consequence of this proposed change, a modified approach to hunter reporting is also required. Currently all wolf/coyote seal holders are required to report on their hunting activity and harvest. Since some wolf/coyote hunters would no longer require a seal it is proposed that reporting requirements change to include mandatory reporting of the harvest component only (rather than hunting activity), throughout all parts of northern and central Ontario where mandatory reporting is currently required. The proposed changes would result in the following framework for wolf/coyote hunting in Ontario. Refer to the attached map for proposed areas. The proposed area boundary between the northern and central area is intended to maintain the existing protections within the known core range of Eastern wolf (primarily Algonquin Provincial Park and surrounding townships) in central Ontario. Proposed Wolf/Coyote Regulations (2017) Northern Area • Season open September 15 - March 31 • No seal required, small game licence required to hunt wolves and coyotes • Annual harvest limit of 2 wolves, coyote harvest not limited • Mandatory reporting of harvested wolves and coyotes Central Area • Season open September 15 - March 31 • Seal required to hunt wolves and coyotes • Limit of two seals for coyotes and wolves • Mandatory reporting of harvested wolves and coyotes Algonquin Provincial Park and surrounding townships (no changes) • No season Southern Area (no changes) • Season open year-round • No seal required, small game licence required to hunt wolves and coyotes • No harvest limit • No reporting required Changes to Ontario Regulation 665/98 (Hunting) would be required to define the areas where a wolf/coyote game seal is no longer required, establish annual harvest limits for wolves and define mandatory reporting requirements for wolf and coyote harvest. The areas that maintain the current game seal requirements and limits for wolves and/or coyotes are Wildlife Management Units: 42, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57 and 58. The proposed implementation date is spring 2017.

MNRF continues to welcome input on moose management at any time at mooseproject@ontario.ca Regulatory Impact Statement: The anticipated environmental consequences of the proposal are neutral. Ontario is home to healthy and sustainable wolf and coyote populations in northern Ontario. Harvest restrictions would be maintained for wolves using a slightly different approach, for harvest of coyotes. The proposed approach also retains existing protections for Eastern wolf in central Ontario, while recognizing additional changes may need to be considered at a future date in response to new information for Eastern wolf. The anticipated overall social consequences of the proposal are also neutral. Some stakeholders have expressed concerns about the impacts of wolf predation on moose. These groups are likely to support the proposals, whereas some other stakeholders and members of the public may be opposed to any changes in wolf hunting regulations. Livestock farmers in northern Ontario are expected to appreciate changes to coyote hunting regulations. The anticipated economic consequences of the proposal are neutral. The proposed changes may provide minor increases in northern Ontario.
