I hunt 69a, which is archery only. I have to buy a normal deer tag and apply for a Doe tag, which I always get because the draw is 100% But you have to put in for the draw. Not aware of any extra tags for this area this year, but if there was , it clearly says what you can shoot and with what.

Well either way your tag regargless of Primary or Additional states what you can harvest.

Ummm....no, no it doesn't. And that's exactly the type of (mis) information that can get a guy in trouble by listening to opinion presented as fact on the internet.

Where on this tag does it say "what you can harvest"?

It doesn't say Archery Only..but it is an "archery only tag" in my WMU, as there is only archery allowed here.....the archery only designation is WMU specific, let me explain: That tag is my wife's. We bought our tags over the phone as we do every year, at the same time applying for the antlerless deer draw for 76....a bow only WMU. I was successful, and as such my tag says "valid for a antlerless deer in 76, bow season only". Her application was not successful, and as such she was sent the tag you see....blank. What that means is it is a regular buck tag, valid in all WMUs for both archery and rifle (where permitted), it is not valid for any controlled hunt unless she also has a controlled hunt validation tag. To add to the confusion, even though my tag is valid for a doe in the archery season in 76, it is ALSO valid as a buck tag in any other WMU, during whatever season I can legally hunt. That's what I meant by WMU specific...it's an "Archery Only" tag, but only for antlerless, and only in 76. If I go to 15B, or 19, or whatever, I can shoot a buck on it.

Now my point is that the OP is asking what his tag allows him to shoot.....which tells me his tag likely looks like my wife's. Everybody is telling him his tag will tell him what he can shoot....but I'm pretty sure if it did , he wouldn't be asking the question....right?

The fact is that not all tags tell you what you can shoot, you need to Know the rules yourself.




I'd hate like he'll for the OP to arrow a doe and stick a buck tag (like my wife's) on it and get caught because A: he didn't know better and B: because of bad advice from the Internet.

I wish the OP would check in and clear it up.

Hello IMCANADIAN ...

I've been licensed hunter in Ontario since late 70's ... tag system is pretty straight forward ( If you read the information on the tag and accompanying information from the Reg's and other Validation's )

Not sure what misinformation you are talking about ?

People that replied to the OP gave good advice = basically your tag will tell you what you have or don't have .... so if your validation box does not have an antlerless validation printed on it or a sticker attached it isn't valid for antlerless deer !

I could take pictures of all the tags I have to show you the verbiage indicating the tags validation ....

1. Primary " Deer seal " > I got when I purchased my licence at hunt store . Validation box specifically says " Affix the Antlerless Deer Validation Here "
2. Antlerless Validation tag specifically says " You have been successful in obtaining and Antlerless Deer Validation tag . Please peel the enclosed tag from the form and affix it to the front of your deer seal " , also specifically says " Bows - only season WMU 80 "
3. Controlled Deer Hunt Validation tag specifically says " You have been successful in obtaining a Controlled Deer Hunt Validation tag .You must carry the tag with you while hunting in the Controlled Deer Hunt " , also specifically says " Antlered / Antlerless , Controlled hunt WMU 80 "
4. All other extra tags specifically state what WMU , what season and what deer ( Antlered , Antlerless ) .

Actually I find your post the most confusing ... None of my tags came with two Toonies attached to them ! .... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Bottom line .... chill ... I think everybody that replied was trying to help and the OP should be able to figure it out from all the information that was submitted .

Good Advice?

The first two replies the guy got stated that his tag was valid for both antlered and antler-less. Not "could be", not "maybe" but that it is.

Do you agree with those first two replies?

If you do, would you be willing to bet the guys hunting future in it?

If not, do you still think he "got good advice"?

Holy smokes. And I'm the one making it difficult.....

Roger that , but clarified later on in thread so what's the problem ?

Guy won't have much of a future if he believes everything he reads on the internet !
IF someone goes hunting and doesn't research the basic's enough that he takes a doe with a Buck only Deer Seal and his only defense to the CO is " Someone on the forum told me it was OK " = pretty thin ...


Bottom line .... I think there has been enough information shared re: tags that the OP will be able to make an informed decision now .

If not, do you still think he "got good advice"?

From my seat .... yes ! ...
BTW , I still can't figure out you got a tag with two Toonies attached to it !

:lol: :lol: Chill .... You must think I'm pretty stupid that I couldn't figure out that's what the coins where there for ! :lol: :lol:

It was obvious , I was making light of the fact that there are differnt versions of the tags ( phone in , on-line , or store bought ) .... You were basing your observation on the tag that you had .

" Party on Wayne " ..... you will hear no further comment on the matter from me ( unless you need photo evidence of the tags I have in my possession and confirmation of the verbiage on them ? ).... A simple thread pulled out of proportion ... Tightly wrapped eh ! :lol: :lol:

Botton line = I think the OP has enough info on tags to understand now .

Peace / Out !

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ !

Hi there.
Sorry it took so long to reply.
I work away from home all week, and was just wondering about the tags.
Now that I got home last night I checked my tags and they are for antlered and antlerless deer, in the bow only season. I does clearly say on the tag. I just couldn't remember.
But I guess by reading this thread that it does vary from area to area.

Sorry for all the confusion.
