"Fewer hunters are getting lost in the bush thanks in part to global positioning satellite technology.
'The numbers are certainly on decline,' said Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Scott Taylor, the emergency response coordinator for the northeastern Ontario region.
'And the GPS, absolutely, I think it made a huge impact.'"
Hopefully more GPS use will ensure hunters are on or in their areas and recreational users are in theirs, creating a safe buffer between armed and unarmed groups.
Ontario boasts over 80,000 km in trails. Whether you're in downtown Toronto or North of Superior, we have a trail for you. The Ontario Trails Council is a registered charity, led by volunteers who promote the development, management, use and conservation of Ontario's trails. You'll find everything from gentle walking trails to rock faces for climbing and water routes to canoe and kayak.
