Hello. I tried to print my turkey hunting tag just now. Just found there are some problems with my printer after I clicked print. I found I cannot print it again. Could anyone tell me is there anything I can do except buying another tag? Thanks for helping!

How much do they charge to reprint the tag?
Or, if you don't use Linux, use a utility like CutePDF.

I don’t use Linux but I printed directly to pdf which saved the file to my desktop. Then I opened the pdf and printed it. That way if my tag gets destroyed or damaged in the field I can always print off a new one. I’m glad I did it this way because my printer hung up on the first try (printing que jammed up from kids/wife who think if something didn’t print the first time, the best thing to do is to hit print 27 more times because THAT will fix it
).

Ontario is over a million square kilometers, and there are a few hundred COs. The potential for abuse is high no matter what system is used.
Poachers are going to poach. My suggestion would be to use the MNRF Tips line if you know poaching has occurred.. Ive done it, and had a call back within minutes, which lead to an investigation.
There are guys on this very forum who have said they know poaching occurs, but dont report it. WHY? Thats what I want to know.

This is what i did too. I like this new way of doing it. Like gun laws, poachers won't follow anything that is implemented so atleast this makes life better for people who do follow the regs.

You are not alone. I read an article recently, I think it was OOD one of their people with the same issue. Probably your best bet is to take the receipt and head out to a service Ontario location.

and that's how a hunter now becomes a paper criminal.. you are not allowed to make copies as per the fine print on the ticket.. since you made a print you have 2 copies, one digital, and one paper.
got to love this new system..
No it's not.. if you follow the "official" process once you have printed the PDF in the browser, you don't download it. if you try to save the pdf from the browser it only saves the first page (the second page is print protected) so you never have two copies of the tag portion.
if you print to PDF, you are doing something which they didn't intend/nor can prevent, hence the fine print saying you are not allowed to have 2 copies of the tag portion.
hence you are a paper criminal for having printed to PDF and they printed to paper without erasing the PDF.
as I said.. you got to love the new system.. it makes it easy to break the law for doing something that you would normally do for any other PDF you save/print (with no intention of poaching etc)
