Harold and Neil and a bull Moose

by Jeff Green

A couple of weeks ago, Harold Perry (76) and his brother Neil (88) set out moose hunting with other members of the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation (AAFNA). Soon enough the group shot a large bull moose. Word of this got back to the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), and a representative from the MNR contacted AAFNA co-chief Randy Cota and asked if a moose had been harvested. Cota said yes.

AAFNA does not have a hunting agreement with the MNR.

“I used to get moose permits when I used to hunt in Northern Ontario , but I don’t need a permit to hunt in Algonquin territory, here in the near north,” Harold Perry told the News this week.
