Acquiring Deer tags in ontario

[Exidous]

Hi,

I'm new to hunting and not very knowledgeable about acquiring deer tags. I haven't applied to any draws for deer this year, is there any region for which I could just go and purchase a tag without a draw?

Cheers.

You get one buck tag, valid for any general season in any wmu, when you buy your license.

Here is a list of places you can buy your license.

Are you in Ontario? You should also really read your Hunting Regulations, they have all the answers to your questions. Yes you missed your chance at both Deer Draws but you can still buy Antlerless tags in some WMU's.

When you buy your 2012 Deer License, the buck tag comes with it (or in the mail).

and in some regions there will be leftover surplus doe tags... Whereabouts are you ?

 

[Exidous]

Im in the Kingston area. Do you think there might be any left there?

I knew about the draws but i wasnt aware that i was entitled to one when i buy the deer license. Anyway I came here to get better informed and not to be lectured by a tool such as youreself.

Best call your local MNR office..there are not that Many WMU's that will have left over tags......Can probably get some in Rainy River or Fort Frances....lol

lectured? this just shows who the tool is

no i would agree with exidous also...
i've taken the course also, and wasn't told how to get tags other than "apply for the draws".

They don't tell you how to get a tag or what tags are available to you. It's an honest question, stuck up 'know it all' answers and people wonder why some hunters give the rest a bad name. People need to learn somewhere they come here asking simple question need simple answers. As someone stated read the regs and if in doubt give the MNR a call as I did as for a new hunter they can be hard to understand.

 

[rhino519]

guess the quality of training has slipped a notch or two, non the less I'm pretty sure regs were mentioned, and if some areas need clarification this forum is a great source, though putting a bit more effort into wording the question or thread title would have definitely help in not being confused for some PETA activist trying to stir some s**t up

There are no left-overs around kingston. as the draw in wmu67 was less than 50% success rate.

Like others have said - get yourself a copy of the 2012 MNR regs and give them a read. It explains alot of the details involved in acquiring your tags, along with general hunting regulations. You can download a PDF from their website, or goto a outdoor store that sells licences (Canadian Tire - LeBaron - Sail) etc and grab a hard copy - they usually have them.

Hi.... I read the regs...its the first place i looked. I couldnt find any reference to being automatically eligible for one buck tag. If i missed it could someone point me to the page awhere that information is? All I could find is info about the draws.

Thanks.
