Buckmark,
This is a repeat of an earlier submission regarding additional tags in Ontario. It pays to keep in touch with the MNR to find out how these will be made available. If and when it happens.
Hunt Ontario
New deer hunts coming
DEER hunters in some areas of southeastern Ontario might have the opportunity to harvest three or more deer in a season.
The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) is proposing regulation changes to create more opportunities for harvesting deer and to address concerns over habitat degradation, increased deer/vehicle accidents, and crop damage in areas where deer populations are high.
The most-sweeping change is to allow for multiple deer tags in specific areas within Wildlife Management Units. Current regulations allow for issuing a second tag for entire WMUs only. The change will allow wildlife managers to focus on areas with high deer populations.
"They literally can't get enough hunters out there harvesting deer," MNR fish and wildlife legislation specialist Gary Brown said of the area around Kemptville. "It's not expected it will be utilized through the entire province... only in a handful of units." There will also be additional hunting seasons. Muzzleloaders will be allowed in WMUs 63A, 63B, 64A, 64B, 65, 66A, 67, and 69B in southeastern Ontario. Regulations currently only allow archery. In addition to the gun season in WMU 67, a second season will be added to commence on the third Monday in November.
Niagara Peninsula hunters in WMU 89A and B will gain a second 6-day controlled hunt with shotguns and muzzleloaders. WMU 94B, which only had controlled shotgun and muzzleloader hunts in even-numbered years, will have hunts on an annual basis.
A new resident 3-week archery hunt will be created in WMU 4 in northwestern Ontario, to start on the Saturday closest to September 17. It will be followed by a gun hunt from the Saturday closest to October 8 to December 15. A change in wording for the archery season in WMU 37 is meant to correct a problem with the season being unintentionally shortened every fifth year.
"This is a tool to keep deer populations at the optimal level," said Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters biologist Ed Reid of the overall changes. "They need new tools because the deer population is higher in some areas." Reid added, however, that the concept of stopping archery hunting during the gun season, as proposed in the new hunts on the Niagara Peninsula, is unnecessary. Since blaze-orange clothing became mandatory for the gun hunt, the trend has been just to require archers to wear it too, not stop their hunt.
