Harvest season for Algonquins of Ontario underway in Algonquin Park

Friends of Algonquin Park are advising that Algonquin Park Moose and Deer Rifle Harvest Season for the Algonquins of Ontario began October 8, 2022 and will continue with the rifle harvest season for both Moose and White-tailed Deer within Algonquin Park until December 21, 2022 (for cow Moose) or January 15, 2023 (for bull and calf Moose, plus White-tailed Deer).

The Algonquins of Ontario are reporting that the 2022-2023 AOO Harvest Season includes an expansion of the harvesting area in Algonquin Park. “For clarity, the harvest area within Algonquin Park now includes the entirety of [Wildlife Management Unit] WMU 51 (excluding the Highway 60 Corridor Development Zone) and the entirety of WMU 54 that is in the ‘Panhandle’ of Algonquin Park and within the AOO Settlement Area.”

During the hunting and harvest seasons in Algonquin Park, for your protection, Ontario Parks recommends:

• Do not stray from the immediate area of your designated campsite.

• Stay on designated Park trails and portages.

• Wear bright coloured clothing when walking through the forest”.
