Which provinces require you to tag an animal....

tag

Fair enough from an ethical stand point. But do ANY provinces require you to cancel your tag if you wound an animal and merely think it will die?

I thought that was the case but Iceman says that it is not law but rather an ethical stand. My bad. I am trying as we speak to find something in the Quebec regs.

If you by chance shoot a deer/moose, and don't recover it till the next day, and find it ravaged by yotes/wolves,or spoiled, by law you cancel your tag here in ONT...

I heard this to be law but was sceptical...Called around to many MNR divisions, and found it indeed was...

So my understanding of the area you guys hunt back east there is that it can be fairly populated with hunters.....

How do you know that was your animal?

And can you point me to a link in your regs for that?

Thats the question....But if you do indeed know it is yours, it is about honesty...Most wouldn't IMO...

I called around to quite a few different MNR divisions, when I was looking into this...This is where I got confirmation that it was...

How would you know that was the animal you shot 100%. Its against the law to tag a animal some one else shot.

Maybe it has your arrow in it...Maybe its only 50yds further than when you quit the night before...Not sure.You either know or you don't IMO..Or choose not to!

I am sure if there was nothing wrong with the animal, you would have no problem recognising it as your animal, and tag it.

so, to be fair, you've never actually seen it in writing with your own eyes? And the potential exists that it was merely someones personal opinion that you should?

Not trying to be a ####, genuinely curious.

I didn't ask where I could see the law written....I called more than one division/districts of the MNR, because I had the same concern...I got the same answer from 4-5 differnt sources in the MNR...

I will call again to find out where it is writen...I do know there are far more laws than we read in the regs..
 
I'd actually appreciate that a bunch if you get the chance.

I'll be surprised to be honest if it's actually the case, that you have to tag an animal that you merely draw blood on.
 
If you find YOUR game spoiled you are required to cut your tag, or face the possibility of being charged for letting it spoil and continuing your hunt.

If you found the animal, it would be more than just a minor wound..

I know I would have a hard time cutting my tag for a deer/moose that was ripped up by yotes/wolves...
 
Yeah, I can understand that.

My question is more around wounding a deer, unknown location of hit, are you legally required by law in any province to cancel your tag?

If you can't find it, I highly doubt it...No law requiring that IMO..That would be a personal choice..
 
I don't understand this at all. What is "cutting a tag" ? or "registering your game" ? We get a set of metal tags that attach to each quarter and one for the jawbone. Once locked it cannot be opened.
I haven't seen a CO or been checked since sometime in the early 90's.

Wasn't that the original question?
Do you have to tag an animal that you know was hit? Now it's if you can't find it, you don't have to cut the tag?
So to sum this up, no animal to tag, no tag to cut?

It be the same as you wounding a moose (not recovering, losing it) and "locking" your tags and stopping hunting.

In Ontario we use a paper seal (tag) which wraps and sticks to an animal. "Cutting" refers to notching out the time and date of the kill (required by law).

What he wants to know is if any provinces require you to cut/lock your tags (and subsequently stop hunting) if you wound an animal and cannot recover it. Its more of a figurative thing, really. As for registering, some provinces require game to be registered. It provides precise statistics and biological data. I dont believe their are any required registrations in ON at this time.

Exactly.

As to "cutting the tag" in BC we have all of our tags in a little booklet and upon recovering your animal you are to cancel your tag by cutting out the region date etc of your kill. Nothing attached to an animal or anything like that, simply making little notches in the specific tag in the booklet.

Can get a little tricky for some of the mountain species and it's a point where some guys screw up and cancel a tag. You could possibly kill a goat or sheep and have it fall into an inaccessable area, and be able to see it dead....But you can't recover it. A lot of guys cancel a tag at that point, and commit an offence as they have no animal to take to the compulsory reporting at that point.
