Attention ontario deer hunters!

[LawrenceN]

FYI (in case you've forgotten) you have until the end of the month to get in on the antlerless deer draw!! Good luck to you all.

Dangit, don't remind 'em - odds are already low enough as it is!

I'm going to miss it this year. i wish i was able to get a tag and let someone else get me some food.

My thoughts exactly, thank you Lawrence. I've got mine in but need to do it for my son as well.

Ontario needs a system like SK & AB where you apply to a WMZ (WMU in Ont.) that is non-existent so that you retain your pool priority when you are able to hunt again. Not to mention pay for the draw at $4 per species drawn for instead of purchasing the license.

not to hijack but not got licence yet. I know its a antlerless draw but what about the males with antlers ?

 

[tiriaq]

A regular deer tag is valid only for deer with antlers. The antlerless tag is valid for antlered as well as antlerless deer (does and fawns). Valid for all deer.
Many hunters get them "just in case", even though they plan to hunt bucks. Or if someone else in the party shots a doe, but does not have an antlerless tag.

There's no pool system for deer hunting.... yet.

Thanks for the reminder.

According to the stats from last year I have a 25% chance of getting a antlerless license on my first choice in WMU 46. Last year 3 of us put in for antlerless and 1 got one. Hopefully we will be lucky again this year.

 

[LawrenceN]

Last year, we were 3 for 3 in WMU56. Fingers crossed for ourselves and all you guys this year. Let Bambi give her all for the freezer and the palate!

Was at a buddies house tonight. Deer everywhere! They come almost to stick stabbing distance and didn't even care that the kids were running around 20-30' from them.

You won't see them doing that by October!!

Yeah, I hear you. We hunt there as well and if I recall, none of us got a doe tag last year.

 

[4freek]

Ordered and entered yesterday!

We'll see if I'm lucky or not,

 

[daka]

Where all the deer went???

 

[huntinguy]

I kept saying I would do it. And I didn't. I guess buck tag for me.

I have been applying in WMU 5 for 14 years. Always received a doe tag and always managed to get a surplus tag or two. Hunted hard, really hard last year and managed a 9 point on the last morning of the hunt, when it was -27. Hopefully this year is better and the numbers are at the very least starting to stabilize.
