I went to the Service Ontario office in London and the lady said they just sell/renew licenses, tags/seals and cards now. They don't run the system any more.

Are you sure your old outdoors card expired in 2018 and not 2017? I remember that it would not allow me to renew my card and licences until the end of November when they introduced this new system. Still weird but trying lol.

Yup. December 31 2018.

I printed my tag this morning , no problems in black and white. Appears we don't have to actually tag the animal unless we are not with the animal. Need to get some type of plastic case to put the licence in . Air Canada might loose all their baggage tags.
Worked pretty slick, also bought my deer licence.

Did you try to print it more than once ? Can you make multiple copies (does it photocopy) ???

Doesn’t this only help poachers? If they can print and photocopy tags, they can have multiple opportunities to break the law. The old ones you couldn’t really duplicate. Plus, not having to tag the animal will make it easier for individuals to reuse the same tag. It sounds like a cost cutting strategy that leaves us governing ourselves. While the majority of us will follow the rule of law, there will always be the few that will attempt to break it. I think now, we just made it easier for those people. Unless I’m missing something.....

If stopped by the CO the CO will validate the tag and record that it's been used. If someone gets caught using another copy they will be screwed.

I'm sure there will be a few people who try. No difference than those who don't buy tags anyway. The vast majority will be honest.

The chances of running into a CO is remote. They're stretched too thin for that to be effective. This may not work out well. It doesn't appear to be well thought out,so far.

This is not a new system..they have adopted it or one similar in many of the states. So they've worked out the bugs and know where the weaknesses are. AND they have real CO's down there :)
