Not sure I will even bother next year, I didn't see a single deer the entire 2014 season!!! I even had a doe tag & have NO IDEA why the MNR would give out doe tags for non-existent deer??? (We hunted the Spencerville area just south of Ottawa...)

Cheers

That is really weird. I saw more deer last year then any years prior. I mostly bow hunt deer, although all my rifle season buddies all had great seasons.

Maybe just the particular spot you hunted had low population. I never heard from anyone that deer numbers were down last season.

Holy crap that's expensive.

I want to say it's only $20 here in BC...

Pretty soon it will be cheaper to buy the farmed stuff, thanks Premier 2 Moms!

Same here, may just sit out 2015, we need a couple mild winters to get the numbers back up

Seriously? That's all I heard, although I did fill my tag.

The wife and I seen 17 shootable deer during the gun season, problem was none sported wood and we only had buck tags!

I am sure premier two mom does not set the price for deer tags. $50.00 for a tag seems reasonable. You can piss that away with a box of good beer and an eight dollar pizza. That would be $1.00 a pound for deer meat (50 lb return per animal). Buck a week .

Draw closes June 30 so lots of time left to apply. I double check permission again and will apply by June 30.

My observation was that deer numbers were down last year too. We made the decision to hunt buck only even though my brother had an antlerless tag. Finally did get one, second to last day.

I'm already on the verge of giving up on the moose draw, so if I give up on deer hunting too, that doesn't leave much.

I did not see many deer in 46 or 53A last fall... May skip this year and concentrate on black bear.

At $50.00 a tag it's almost cheaper for me to hunt the US. Getting a little excessive

Yes it seems like it went for 20 bucks or so to 50 in pretty short order (or maybe I'm just getting old and it seems a short time span).

I hunt deer in 67 (north of Kingston Ontario) and we saw quite a number of deer last year, certainly not a "down" year.

Three different groups totaling seven hunters all punched our tickets with bucks last season, two in the early bow and the rest during the gun season.

Then in the late bow there we were still getting trail cam pics of three different big bucks and numerous does (but no tags left).

Not bad for a gnarly chunk of Canadian shield that goes barely 800 acres.
