Which provinces require you to tag an animal.........that you wound, but don't recover?


Question has come up, and I'm too lazy to try and search through individual provinces regulations for this.

BC it's a no no if you tag an animal and don't have the carcass in your possession and will net you a fine and a black mark on your record.

Which ones tell you have to tag it, even if you don't find it but know you hit it?
 
Manitoba has detacheable tags off the main tag for meat, hide and head. Once you've butchered an animal you need to tag the antlers, hide if (you're keeping or donating it) and meat if you're taking it in for processing. Any meat that you're giving away is supposed to have the hunterts name and tag # attached, nobody bothers but that is the reg.
 
Even if it was a requirement to tag a "lost" game animal, if you failed to cut your tag afterward such a law would be absolutely unenforcable except in somebody's wildest imagination.

Seems like a ridiculous/implausible concept to me.
 
Quebecs tags don't come with anything to actually attach it with anyways.I asked how to put this piece of paper on a animal and didn't really get a answer. If I shoot a critter behind the house I have to travel some distance to register it.
 
You can't obviously tag a non existing body of an animal but if you wound an animal and know that if will die from it's injuries, then your hunt is over even if you still have a tag in hand.
 
In Quebec the tag is attached to the animal once it is down. There is a small slit in the tad to attach with a string , tie wrap etc. Once you have left the bush you stop at a registration station to register your game and cancel the tag. They ask questions like wher it was killed using a topo map, time of day,weapon used etc. You do not cancel a tag for a lost/ wounded animal. It could be an ethical /personal question ie "I'm allowed 1 deer a year, I wounded and can't find that buck so my hunt is over" Purely a personal question, not a requirement.

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?

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...
