Right or wrong...looking for answers according to the law

Is anyone here a lawyer? Then these are all just educated guesses. Regardless, they could still be charged just to be acquitted later. Don't ask the internet for legal advice.

I'll bet you that there isn't a lawyer in Ontario that would know the answer to the question the OP posed. I'd contact a CO like blasted_saber pointed out and be real CLEAR on your scenario.

With that said, it sure sounds like a grey area. If the hunter is not killing deer for 'gain', what case would Crown have?

I went through the Set Fines (17.5 - 17.10) to see if there was anything that might jump out as far as being illegal, nothing.

"Hey joe, I'm out of deer and can't hunt this season, you?"

"I've filled my tag already. There's extra tags available in my WMU, and I have next week off, but as much as I'd like to hunt more I don't need anymore meat"

"well...if you feel like filling another tag for me I'd appreciate it. Of course I'll pay for the tag"

tag money wasn't paid to joe, it was paid to the MNR. Deer legally taken, tagged, then given away. I fail to see the issue.
 
From the sounds of it, it's legal. Also from the sounds of it, you don't think it should be, OP. I'm not sure if i agree or disagree. Sounds fishy for sure and anyone caught doing it may find themselves in court trying to prove everything's on the up and up. Not something i personally would want to participate in. :yingyang:
 
From the Ontario Hunting Regulations 2014 • 2015, Deer- General section, page 60, under the Sealing and Transporting Deer heading
"Only the hunter whose game seal is to be used is allowed to attach the game seal to the deer. It is illegal to transfer a game
seal in order to seal a deer."
If she isn't hunting or in attendance, but just buying the tag for someone else to do the hunting and put on the deer, then they are breaking the law. See above quote.
Prior to the above quote in the summary is
"If party hunting for deer, the member whose licence has been validated for the type that has been killed must immediately after the kill and at the kill site attach the game seal to the animal in the manner described on the instruction panel attached to the game seal or found on the back of the game seal."
Again, showing she must be present at the kill site. I've seen in the Provincial Court section of the local paper where folks were fined for 'transferring a game seal'.

Wrong. Your quoted text does not in any way apply to the discussion
 
I believe this is illegal. If not then,I can get my wife to get her Ontario Outdoors card and get a deer licence. Would I then be legal to kill a deer on my tag and her tag???? Only if she was hunting with me at the time the deer was killed. Quite simple as I understand it.

your quote does NOT match the OPs situation..

1) the 3rd party paid the hunter to buy a seal UNDER THIS OWN NAME
2) the hunter shot and tagged the dear
3) the hunter gave away the legally hunted and tagged dear meat to the 3rd party..

perfectly legal..

Read the OP's posts (including his clarification) it's not a tag under the 3rd party's name (the 3rd party is a non hunter, and cannot get a tag under thier name).. the tag, and hunt is under the hunter.. the 3rd party just paid for the tag..
 
^^^ this

There is absolutely nothing wrong with person 1 giving person 2 $47 and person 2 using it to buy a 2nd or 3rd deer tag (or a case of beer)
And there is nothing wrong person 2 giving person 1 a deer to eat, and who butchers it is irrelevant to the situation.

Not sure why anyone would care either.
 
totally unbelievable .just wow ..just what is it about this that bothers you so much ,I donot get it .nobody is making money but the MNR .who is in the wrong ,Dutch
 
This is so convoluted it is mind blowing.

The sale of game meat is illegal.........., really????

I owed Jim $40.00 for the lawn chairs I bought, oh and here is some deer meat."wink wink"

Like really??They can actually convict people on these offenses?
