Don’t wait to buy hunting licences

This year, hunters are advised to purchase their hunting licences and game seals prior to November 19 and keep them in a safe place, according to the 2018 Hunting Regulations Summary, released in mid-April. This is due to a restricted sales period that will take effect during the transition to the new fishing and hunting licensing service, which will be launched in late November.
After the launch takes place, only select hunting licence products will be available until Dec. 31, 2018. Deer licences are one product that will not be available in the period from the late November launch until year’s end.
For additional details, please visit www.ontario.ca/outdoorscard or contact the Natural Resources Information and Support Centre at 1-800- 387-7011 or 1-800-667-1940.
 
I buy all my licences at once in the spring before turkey season so I don't forget and have a last minute issue. Good heads up though.
 
My outdoors card expires dec 31 and it cant be renewed until 30 days before expiry. Wonder how thas going to work

Mine expired December 31st 2017. I only renewed it last month and was able to print a temp card right then.
 
I assume that this won't affect small game licences, but then of course I'm ever the optimist.

BTW, ON is the only jurisdiction I know of where you need a licence to buy a licence. The province issued an "Outdoor Card" some years ago that was supposed to take the place of a paper licence every year, you just bought a little update sticker for it. Then they went back to paper (as seen in the OP) but kept the requirement for the plastic card as well. Those expire every 3 years and there's a separate fee for them. It's required for the purchase of both hunting and fishing licences I believe and it's government in action!
 
Fines, fees and service charges the Liberal way and yearly increases of course. I am sure that come January 1 there will be some form of excuse and just a reminder to never vote Liberal.

Ford seem pretty no nonsense so far hopefully this will be dealt with accordingly.
