An unbelievable joke.....
same with me............no results?
I'm admittedly pretty green to all this, and therefore need some clarification; I applied online for an archery bull hunt in 48, that was my primary. My secondary was an archery Cow hunt in 48. Yesterday in the mail I received a calf tag valid for all WMU's except 48, 55, 57, and 65. I am not quite sure I understand the draw process. Why would I be given any kind of tag other than what I applied for? What are the method of take limitations on this calf tag?
You were unsuccessful in the draw. Everybody by default gets a calf tag valid in most of Ontario, except the WMUs you quoted. If you were successful in the draw, the validation for a bull in 48 would have been printed on the tag.Quote:

Our fabulous government at work. No results available by either phone or web. Fantastic. Maybe they aren't aware that today is August 1. Perhaps someone should drop them a line to let them know that a province full of moose hunters are anxiously trying to get their results. :rolleye:
Thanks Marx, I wasn't aware that as a consolation applicants would be awarded a calf tag.
If I understand the regs correctly then, the method of take is governed then by the season in the unit which you are hunting? So the calf could be taken in either gun or bow season?
I'm betting at 8:30 the results will be available by phone & online. Silly that many have already received by mail but can't access results for those who haven't yet.
No, it appears that it takes more than 2 months.Quote:

I think he used his head and read page 5 of the hunting regulations that says that all draw results are available at 8:30 am. ;)
Yes, no one in your group was successsfull in the draw but you can still party hunt for a calf if you want or party hunt with another individual/group with an adult tag.Quote:

Sounds like you need to pick up a copy of the regs, read them and then read them again.........don't take this the wrong way, not trying to be a dick just seems you need to familiarize yourself with the regs, it is all in the book (or in online summery of regs). Yes it can be confusing but reading it a time or two will really help you out instead of trying to get your answers off of unknown people on an internet forum (they are not always right but think they are).Quote:

go away and we'll see you next year when we raise the fees and devise a new shell game!

Oh and lets not forget that while carrying your bow during GUN SEASON you will need to wear hunter orange too!
A big part of bow hunting is getting to wear camo and going stealth.
Its just crazy this whole moose draw. Our area almost trippled in tags this year so we put 14 in as group. No need to put in individual we thought....no sense tryin to draw more then one tag with so few available. We just like to get together once a year and have a blast. And as was brought up earlier in this thread if you only bowhunt and you dont draw a tag you should get your money back....less a small processing fee. We apply to colorado every year. If we dont draw a tag we get our money back. And its not from may to august either! We apply in april and have either tag or refund first week of june.
Guess next year all 14 as individuals .......draw more than one tag....so be it!!!!
Bull tag for our group
I used the on-line option with no problems.
Moose tags were in our mail boxes on July 31,2017.
No tag for us in WMU49. Put 14 in for bull and 3 indivuals for cow and got squat.
Last year nothing as well. I'm about done moose hunting in Ontario

That's a tough unit to draw a tag in, has the highest pool 1 applications in all of Ontario drawing for a bull tag, over 2200 applications.Quote:

Earlier I reported we got 2 bull tags for archery. One guy told us he had a bull tag but when he read the tag finally it was for a calf. Since we only bow hunt the early season it really is just plastic toilet paper printed in the US which is worth shyte and won't even wipe shyte!
We really ended up with ONE bull for 6 guys! There is NO WAY we can legally party hunt with 6 guys. Also there is no way we're all spending $1200 each for 2 weeks and 5 of us might be done after the first day. for what? 70 lbs of meat!
I get does that big here at home and have 3 deer tags.
We could play the all day phone in lottery for some cow tags BUT we won't shoot cows.
SOOO... we're throwing our lone bull tag in the garbage PHUCK IT! and going to Quebec.
I'd love to give it back to the MNR to pass on to someone else BUT they won't do that because that would make sense.
One of the guys in the group bought a great cottage in Quebec this spring. Lodging is free and it's half the distance. Even with the high tag fee overall it will be cheaper for us! It's a no brainer! 3 tags over the counter. No more prepaid moose lottery for us. The odds are better at the CASINO!
It's going to be painful calling the lodge owner in Ontario to cancel! They are friends and will miss our friendship and the $5,000 we left there every year. Another casualty MNR policy. Maybe all the MNR policy makers will chip in some of their fat salary or their even fatter pension and send it to the northern resort owners. 27 yrs huntin moose and now I need to leave my own province and go elsewhere.
Worked all my life and finally retired and the only way to chase my dreams is go elsewhere. Thanks MNR ..PS you won't be getting a Christmas card this year from me!
I f I were you and felt as you do, I would write this all down and more in a letter to the Min. of Nat Resources, explaining also of the loss of license money because of others going to Quebec also.
Bull tag for 28 for our gang
Although I feel your pain I know quiet a few gangs of six that would be very happy with one Bull tag. I hope things turn around in a few years or I might head to Quebec as well.Quote:

Thanks skull! you're the best BUT I'll still be bear hunting until the 16th (or longer) then we're heading to Quebec for archery. Getting together this week to hash out the plans.Quote:

Moose are moose no matter where you go. Our group has bow killed 47 and I've gotten 11 so I know we have the skill factor . Just need to figure out the terrain and find the moose.
When you're given lemons you need to make lemonade!
I'd love to send it to them BUT why? Have they ever truly listened? and again you're assuming they can read!Quote:

Overeducated, overpaid, and unaccountable. What a mess! I finally realize they just don't give a shyte about us. I hope the drop in revenues gets the attention up higher and some heads roll. Oh wait this Canada right! Not gonna happen!
I sure hope you put some science into that panel, 50% hunters is a bad idea in my mind, seeing how much people complain that they do not get adult tags, even with the collapse of the moose population in Ontario.Quote:

Au contraire, if there is a mass exodus of moose hunters that forgo buying a license for a few years we can sit back without saying a word and enjoy the show. The special purpose account will drop in revenue, the privileged groups that don't contribute now will unabashedly continue to deplete the herd and lastly the small merchants who depend on the tourism revenue from the hunters will take a financial hit which in turn equals in less tax dollars collected.Quote:

They jumped on both bandwagons after WE the hunters came up with the CASH! And a big bonus for them was .... licence fees. and they go up every year! It's fishermen and conservation groups running any fish hatcheries still surviving and YUP more licence revenue.
One common thread amongst any hunter worth his camo underwear - WE KNOW what it takes to make it work and we're not afraid to make a hard decision which sometimes affects our freezers. Seems like the MNR can't make any decision unless it passes their smell test - revenue! How many years did we wait? How many workshops did we attend .. promises of sweeping change to the moose. What did we get? A slight change to the tag transfer game. There was no way they would eliminate transfers. They know there's lots of tags bought by wives, in-laws, friends. Non moose hunters all of them. Free revenue for the wynne coffers. All they did was move the nut around under the shells and figure out how they could give less and collect more. Then they slam another wolf protection bill through. just as sudden as the cancellation of the spring bear way back when.
As soon as you and I get it through our heads that they don't CARE what you or I think then the better off we are.
Sure there's always a few bad apples but overall the hunting community is intelligent and well versed on what's actually going on in the woods.
You can't honestly say you approve of what the MNR been doing to once game rich Ontario. Really?
If past practice dictates future behavior then we're screwed! and y'know what? it usually does.
