but really, would you be allowed to shoot them? I remember back on the farm, my old man and I shot a buck out of season in the garden. No idea if it was legal or not as I still don't hunt...
For what those deer are doing in the picture, defiantly not in Ontario. They are causing no damage to anything. The only thing you can do legally is scare them away.
As for your deer you and your dad shot. A farmer can shoot a deer on his farm out of season as long as its damaging his lively hood but any MNR CO will tell you that your first attempt should be to scare it away and even then your supposed to call the MNR and report it before you shoot it. They then give you permission to shoot. If farmers didn't need permission to shot game out of season on their own property we would have a heck of a lot of hunting going on all year with people that own a lot of land or even land in the country. Its a criminal offense as far as the MNR told me.
Catch 22...if you scare them too bad, they are going to do a bunch of damage to that trampoline...remember the movie Tommy Boy?
Legally, you are absolutely correct. If you can prove there is a need to remove animals from your property, then the CO's will issue supplimental tags for your area/yard. Those tags aren't easy to get. A friend had elk coming into his feedlot, and pigging out on his stored bales. He tried to get the CO's to issue some supplimental tags, but they wouldn't. Then he told them to issue some tags, or he'd call the local reserve, and have the entire herd removed...he got some tags, and the CO's provided material for a wildlife fence.
OH YEAH!!! Too bad Canada is so strict with the full auto's.
