The zec Dumoine is a controlled harvesting zone (ZEC) located in the unorganized territory of Les Lacs-du-Témiscamingue, in the MRC Témiscamingue Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, in Quebec, in Canada.

Geography

The zec is the 4th greatest zec of Quebec with an area of 1500 km². Zec Dumoine is located north of the Ottawa River. Its territory is between:

the Zec de Rapides-des-Joachims, which is on the east side. The Dumoine River (flowing to the south) serves as a demarcation between these two zecs, that is between Lake Laforge (to the north) and the Ottawa River (at the height of Holden Lake);
the zec Restigo and the zec Maganasipi, which are located on the west side.

The main lakes of the zec are: "À la Course", Alma, Au Sable, Aux Sangsues, Benwah, Benwah, Burton, Cabazié, Cardinal, Cibardin, Cranberry, Cullin, De l'Alouette, De l'Autour, De la Rifle, Nyctale, Dizon, Domergue, Hardwood, Busard, Carcajou, Hummingbird, Owl, Owl, Lorikeet, Pipit, Plankton, Roselin, Tangara, Duck Pond, Duncan, Emma , Esgriseilles, Fildegrand, Gosselin, Grant, Hall, Hanwell, Jacques, Kinepik, La Rabeyre, Lebeau, Long, Malouin, Nouveau, Patricia, Paul-Joncas, Perdu, Petit lac Russell, Revolver, Robinson, Russell, Russell, Saint- Circus, Unnamed, Sauvole, Skead, Stubbs and West Trout.

Visitors access the ZEC by taking Highway 17 in Ontario to Rolphton (Ontario). Then they use the route 635 to Rapides-des-Joachims. The reception desk is located at 3, rue Principale. Then, to access the territory, visitors must travel 26 km on the zec de Rapides-des-Joachims.

History

Forestry

Logging in the current zec territory began in 1850 when two logging companies (the ancestors of E. B. Eddy and Consolidated Bathurst) began cutting white pines, which were abundant southeast of Témiscamingue. Besides, north of ZEC Dumoine, two hydronyms are significant: Lac du Pin blanc and the Rivière du Pin blanc. This type of wood was in high demand on the European shipbuilding market, as it was used in particular for masts of sailing ships. From these times, the shipowners manufactured more and more hybrid boats, propelled by steam engines and also with sail; which constituted safety in the event of engine damage and lower cost by using the force of the wind.

The exploitation of this resource required the development of forest roads and ice roads for the transport of people, goods and animals. They also set up stables for horses, shelters for provisions, equipment and goods, lumber camps and even forest farms. Despite the harsh climate, these farms allowed the raising of animals for meat and milk; in addition, it made it possible to harvest some cereals and hay to feed the animals. Once cut and limbed, the tree trunks were pulled to the Dumoine River or its tributaries. As soon as the snow melted, leading to the flooding of the water, steam boats (called "Aligator steam boat") hauled the tree trunks which then descended on the Ottawa River.

Timber floating often required the intervention of log drivers because of log jams in rapids or falls. To prevent the logs from being damaged by hitting the rocks, log slides have been fitted out by the logging companies or their subcontractors. The logs were directed towards these slides in order to cross these rapids or falls. Even today, observers can see some vestiges of these ancient slides by the river.

Native American history

Formerly, the territory of ZEC Dumoine was frequented by the Otaguottouemins, member of an Algonquin community. The families of this community generally lived in semi-nomadism according to the needs of hunting, gathering of small wild fruits (strawberries, raspberries, bluets ...), protection, Native American trade ... Floods caused by beavers and forest fires were both constraints and benefits. With regret, the terrible Spanish grid of 1918 entirely decimated this community^[1].

Hunting and fishing

The zec territory is located at the meeting of two important ecosystems: the boreal forest and the mixed forest. This forest territory includes a diversity of habitats, each with specific characteristics, in particular: large mature trees, trees with rare species and areas where wildlife is abundant. This variety of habitats generates a diversity of animal species that inhabit it. ZEC has listed more than 120 species of birds and noted a strong presence of turtles.

As game is generally abundant in ZEC Dumoine, rifle hunting is generally practiced. From now on, the moose, bow or black powder hunting package includes the possibility of killing a white-tailed deer. On the territory of the zec, hunting is subject to quotas according to the sex of the animals (originals and white-tailed deer), hunting gear and the season periods for the following species: moose, white-tailed deer, black bear, hare, grouse and grouse. The zec allocates hunting zones on its territory according to the packages.

There are also quotas for the following species: pike, brook trout, moulac, lake trout and walleye^[2].

Toponymy

The toponym "zec Dumoine" was formalized on August 5, 1982 at the Place Names Bank of the Commission de toponymie du Québec^[3].
