So I was successful in getting an anterless deer tag for the upcoming season, does this entitle me to shoot either a deer with antlers or one without? I know I only get to take 1, that was how it was explained to me, if you poses an antlerless tag you can take either or, is this correct?

Im assuming validation is for a general whitetail area and not for a controlled hunt area?(is it southern ontario or up in cottage country?)
If its a controlled hunt area that tag is good for buck or doe archery hunting only in that area.
If its a genreal area(not a controlled hunt area) its good for buck or doe in either archery or gun season.
If in a general area and hunting in a camp of other hunters.. Discuss within the group what tags everyone has. You can shoot a buck and have someone else with a "buck only" tag put their tag on it. And someone else can shoot a doe and tag it with your tag. If hunting with a group,, you do not have to stop hunting when you fill your tag. You are legally allowed too hunt, until every tag in camp is filled. Party hunting is legal in ontario and widely accepted.
Different rules for different provinces.

saskcop and Grizzlypeg,, im sorry but you do not understand the rules for Ontario. He is legally allowed to kill any whitetail in that wmu if it is a general whitetail area.

Any resident of Ontario who has a valid hunting version
Outdoors Card may apply to the draw for an antlerless
deer validation tag. Hunters who receive a validation tag in
the draw are permitted to harvest their choice of EITHER
an antlerless deer in the WMU specified on the tag OR an
antlered deer anywhere in the province during the open
season – with the exception of during a controlled hunt.
See page 69 for information on hunting during a

Sorry champ, but in Ontario, with an antlerless tag (zone specific), you can take an antlerless deer in the zone specified on the tag, or a buck anywhere in the province.

I'm thinking the out of province "experts" should just STFU or at least read the regs before giving advice....wow.
Ontario: open season: antlerless tag: shoot whatever you want: buck-doe-yearling-fawn.
Good luck on your hunt

Sounds like I'm as wrong as wrong can be. What a weird name for it, "anterless deer tag". Makes it sound like its for harvesting, an anterless deer. That's the way it is here in Manitoba with the 2nd deer tag. They specify that you can only take an anterless deer, meaning one with no antlers, or only a short spike (forgot the inches they specify).
In ontario, its not an antlerless tag...it is a deer tag, same color as every other deer tag sold, the only difference is there is some writing on it that says valid for an antlerless deer in WMU **.

For the general deer season, you buy a tag for a buck. You then apply for a validation sticker which goes on your tag and allows you to harvest any deer you want in the WMU you applied for. "Antlerless tag" is a slang term, and not a very appropriate one IMO. But its the common lingo so thats how it goes.
Sounds like an Ontario regulation to me: "Antlerless" means with or without antlers. I wonder if "deer" means " or a bear".
The only reliably correct advice for questions about hunting regulations is "Go check the hunting regulations."

No, whats wrong is the term he used. Its slang used by those who know what they are talking about.

Its like a PAL with 12.x. You can still get non-restricted, or you can get the prohib stuff.

Sounds complex to me.
Here is Saskatchewan they keep it simple for us with limited reading skills. The tag says antlerless and that is exactly what it means.
Very confusing once you get the either ### tag.

You could always live in Quebec and get more complex. I won a "1st Killing Antlerless Deer Hunting Licence."
It means I must first harvest a doe, then I can harvest a buck. If you take a buck first, you are no longer eligible to harvest a doe.
And here an antlerless deer is either a female, or a male with antlers smaller than 7cm.
