I've hunted B, C and D. There are deer in there. What kind of info are you looking for?
Pretty sure it's going to be antlered deer only for all of 76 this year. Numbers must be way down!
I just moved to WMU 76 from Niagara and I'm not seeing anywhere near as many deer as I'm used to in my travels so far.
In the regulations book....
76d has an asterisk (*) beside it for the controlled hunt... The asterisk (*) says antlered only in that WMU.
My controlled hunt validation tag says ANTLERED OR ANTERLESS..... (doe or buck). For the controlled shotgun hunt... I am ASSUMING i can only take a buck ? No does allowed?? Is this right?
Call MNR for the only good answer
As was stated above.... call the MNR for confirmation (right interpretation)....but
from the regs....
* Some Controlled Hunt Validation Tags in units marked with an
asterisk (*) are valid for ANTLERED DEER ONLY
I read this as the key word being SOME Controlled Hunt Validation Tags are valid for Antlered Deer only so since yours is stamped for both... you should be good to shoot buck or doe...
Im in 76d and where I am there is quite a few. Tracks all over. Chased 2 does the other day. Only got a buck tag so just wanted to see how long I could track them. All in all I think the area is healthy
lots of deer in 76D, live here and hunt behind my house. Things are getting more and more active!

You can shoot any deer you want during your controlled hunt in WMU 76D, as your validation tag expressly authorizes you to do so.
We hope to see your report soon, complete with the picture of the buck or doe that you manage to pose with! :)
I hunted 76D and in three days I counted well over 60 does with the majority of them having single fawns and a few with 2 fawns and yes
Every day I could've taken multiple does,
lots of bucks
l harvested a nice 8 and missed a massive ten
Problem solved....
Called the MNR officer today (very easy to do and suggested to anyone with a concern)... The asterisk (*) states "SOME" validation tags in your desired WMU are only valid for antlered . While SOME validation tags are valid for both -antlered and antlerless. Depends on what you get.
My tag says "antlered or antler less".. Therefore, I am good to go for BUCK OR DOE in my controlled hunt.
The MNR office pulls everything up on a computer once you give them your outdoors card number and can literally tell you everything you need to know!
