if I am successfull on the controlled deer hunt, and also the wmu I choose on the deer draw, both tags would be printed on same tag I was told, so I can only one use.... does this second tag mean a separate physical tag ?

sorry for all the newb questions. not trying to take more deer [dont have the skills and appetite lol ] just trying to understand the process and increase my chances.

Being successful in a controlled hunt, does not give you an additional tag. You only get one tag with a deer licence. Controlled, means hunter numbers are controlled, not deer. If your WMU has additional tags, you can buy the number of tags allowed per hunter.
Edit: GW11 beat me to it !!

Thank you guys, much more clear now.

its a tag you have to print it.

What a bummer, there's tons of deer in 81, ( where I hunt anyways).

So just to clarify, If I'm successful i drawing for my regular tag for 82a and then my controlled hunt for 81a if I dont tag a deer on my controlled hunt, I can go for bow after for buck only in 81a correct ?

You can hunt an antlered deer in any WMU.

No-there is no draw in 82A for regular tag.Only draw for antlerless add on.
Your main tag is buck-one buck anywhere,any legal arms,in any specified season(except where Controlled deer is the rule for shotgun-muzzleloader).There, You have a choice of only ONE WMU-one season for firearm( pre specified firearm )to hunt with,as well.
But-you must apply for Controlled hunt ,and be drawn.Did not apply-or did not get drawn=no validation tag .No Controlled hunt allowed on Your tag then.You can NOT even Party hunt in Controlled. Yet-even there you can buck hunt archery,in archery season.

Then-You need to apply for Antlerless deer-one WMU of Your choice,arm of MNRF choice- validation goes onto Your Main tag.
Using Your main tag-bow buck,rifle buck,controlled deer or antlerless-Your tag is done.

If You go for additional deer tag in WMU of Your choice -sex,season,WMU and arm is specified by MNRF. No exception.You buy it-if available.You can have up to 6 Additional tags in Ontario.

You are done using up your tag-tags. Whatever was it -whenever you score.

Of course-you can still party hunt with others,on their tag-BUT only under conditions for their tag.
You can even Controlled deer Party hunt with them-if they have a Cont.Deer tag-and You applied and were drawn for Cont Deer.BUT-both of you are same WMU specific.Must both have Cont Deer for the WMU You are to hunt in.

There is a separate draw run later than the antlerless deer draw. Some are antlerless only tags, some are buck only, some are either depending on WMU. In some WMU's you can buy multiple additional seals. Usually the draw is opened for your first additional seal application, then any remaining seals are sold first come first served basis after the draw is over.

So yes, separate draw than the controlled hunt and antlerless draw, separate additional seal. Do not confuse with controlled hunt draws, which are not additional seals, "controlled" just allows you to hunt during a specific period with your main deer tag. Hunter numbers are "controlled".

Great expalantion GW11 - but i belive Additional Deer tags are-first come,first served. No draw.
There is also 3 "run"at them:

First-from July 8-everyone can buy one.
Second(from Jul15)-everyone can buy as many as they want-up to 6 per person. ( 6 Does not include the main tag.)All for themselves(but it is WMU specific for personal limit of these tags).

Then-from August 17-"free "for all,still up to 6 Add on Deer tags per person. And -whatever Add on Deer tags a WMU allows per person.

Thanks gbk, it's been a long time since I've had one. None of the areas I hunt around home have offered them since 2014.

Not in one WMU-but one hunter can have up to 6+1 in the whole of Ontario(if and where available).
I think lately max 3 is available in one WMU (main +2 additional).

Only exception are 79 C and D,there one can have 1main+2 add on archery+2 controlled hunt add on.....which is puzzling to me !
