According to OOD there will be no additional tags for WMU 90-94 this year. I personally have seen about the same number of deer the last few years in 90, even on public land, but maybe my experience is not typical. TC

I am in 93a and there is an abundance of deer... As far as I have read there is no real data that even supports the decision to cut all the tags in area, just a pen pusher saying we had a harsh winter kill... BS
I only buy one tag because that is all I need for venison, but I think they dropped the ball on this one. Insurance company's will be busy this year.
I canot believe it ether I hunt 90 as well and we got lots of deer ,Dutch
.....we did have a harsh winter.Quote:

We all want to see abundant wildlife and one way to ensure that, is to give the population a break sometimes.
Most people buy a single tag anyway, and poachers buy none.
MNR is not always perfect but if we question their every move, then we just become another "special interest" group who want things 100% their way at all times! As for myself, I respect MNR's decision and hope that this will translate into having more deer for 2015.
Actually no additional archery doe tags for WMUs 89 to 95. 100% reduction
No additional controlled hunt doe tags either.
When I asked OFAH, they could not get an explanation from the OMNR.
Aylmer District Stakeholders are involved somehow.
The OMNR is not forthcoming with empirical data to back up their decision.
Deer yards saved the deer from the winter in my area. Coyotes are not much of a factor once deer yard up.
A herd of 60 to 100 deer will kick any yote packs . Only the very weakest will be vulnerable.
These wildlife management units were not the worst hit by last winter as far snow.
I'm confused on this one. I hunt the rifle hunt in November in WMU 46 and applied for a tag in that. I hunt the controlled hunt in December in WMU 90b. If I fill my tag up north in November does this mean I cant buy a tag for the controlled hunt? What about bow tags for 90b?
You can apply to both hunts, however since there aren't any additional tags available, you are one and done.Quote:
