The AOO establishes annual sustainable harvest targets for Algonquin harvesters for both moose and elk per WMU. These sustainable harvest targets are established with input from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) and are based upon data that addresses wildlife conservation and the sustainability of wildlife populations. Harvest targets are reviewed annually along with moose population data from MNRF. In recent years, the moose population has declined in WMU 51 – Algonquin Provincial Park. As a result, the AOO lowered moose harvest targets in WMU 51.The AOO is the first and only Indigenous group in Canada that has voluntarily enacted these types of harvest management practices. The AOO are leaders at the national level with their commitment to maintaining self-sufficient wildlife populations that will enable future generations to continue practicing traditional ways of life.

Ordered from the US; Sizing didn't work for me; Astral didn't accept returns to orders shipped to Canada. These fit snug compared to size 11s in most other shoe brands.

Whoops, I missed your reply @Bampot.

Re: Dec 1 - March 31: We camped on Longspur once for example. We took the portage to Jack Lake and then headed through the bush from there.

No need to apologize! Thanks for the response. Looks like a beautiful lake from some photos I have seen.

Regarding camping locations between Dec 1 and Mar 31, Jeff said: "The nice thing is that opens up all sorts of additional locations to camp that you couldn't otherwise use."

I asked for examples of such locations, and you mentioned south of Smoke Lake. Perhaps just a case of misunderstanding.

Can you clarify which areas specifically in the area of Ragged, Parkside, Bay, and Big Porcupine are worth camping at between Dec 1 and Mar 31? Thanks.

All of them depending on how far you want to go. What you are looking for, skill levels, experience etcetera.
 

The same could be said for any other area of Algonquin's backcountry - so I am perplexed why the area "south of Smoke Lake" was specifically identified as a great location to camp at between Dec 1 and Mar 31. I am familiar with the area and its developed campsites, but assumed there were specific areas here ideally suited for "winter camping". By the sounds of it, there is nothing unique about this location compared to any other for winter camping.
