They say you can only print once...anyone tried printing to a PDF file so they can reprint if needed?

There's an option to download and save the pdf. That's what I did and will print closer to turkey opening. The new site is a lot more user friendly and faster to use. Kudos to the MNR.

Nice! I was going to use my Adobe PDF printer driver but if they built it onto the site that's smart! It will save people calling because their printer didn't work.Quote:

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had the option to download it and also that you could buy all of your licences (turkey, deer, deer draw) all at once if you wanted to. Also you don't have to edit your personal information anymore unless needed. You can also save your username and password in your browser which is handy if you're a bit forgetful like yours truly.Quote:

I like the new site and am happy to hear you can save it in pdf. My printer has an attitude and sometimes the paper doesn't feed properly
Just read the login privacy disclaimer, I wonder what information and why it could be stored outside of Canada, can’t we as a country keep our own information or do we really need to rely on others. Sent an email and curious to how they will respond.
It's possible the site is hosted "in the cloud" which could be in the US.Quote:

If you click "Save Products" this will give you a pdf of your License Summary. This pdf DOES NOT INCLUDE your turkey tag! You need to select "Print Products" to get your tag!
Can you do the full three year license for small game and fishing? I renewed my card and three licenses last year, but they expire in 2020 not 2021 like they should.:mad: Karen has to do her's now and I really do not want to get ripped off again.
Yes. I renewed and bought 3 year small game at same time. Skipped fishing license because of my veteran status.Quote:

2018-2020 is 3 calendar years. Year 1 = 2018, Year 2 = 2019, Year 3 – 2020. If you renew now it will be good from 2019-2021....3 calendar years.Quote:

I was renewing my card for 2019 forward.Quote:

So something in the system was messed up.
Has anyone printed their turkey tag yet? Just curious if it's colour or if a black ink printer is all that's neded. I know the downloadable licence isn't in colour.
I was worried about that myself, so I let mine expire Dec 31 and I waited to renew it in Jan. My new card says 2021.Quote:

Weird, I renewed mine with 3 yr licences in November for 2019 and it came with a 2021 expiry. I remember there was a choice to buy for 2018 or 2019 and i needed to select 2019 for the next renewal. May be worth calling the number on the back of the card to find out what happened.Quote:

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) ???Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

When I was in college in 2004, the CO giving a lecture said there were 180 active badges in the province, with 140 of those being field based officers. I dont know how that number has changed in the last 15 years. Thats not a lot for Ontario.
Hunting and fishing in Ontario has effectively been the honour system for all of my life. I have been stopped 2 times in my entire life by a CO in the field. Both fishing, never hunting.
I still think our oldest system was way superior to the latest-by now eliminated one,and this upcoming one .
The stickers were on the Outdoors card,the tags were small and handy.
In the name of money saving(which i still can not comprehend for the latest system where the plastic was 5 x bigger then the previous one.....)eliminated the old system,now with perceived convenience, and the notion of it does work elsewhere,they are bringing this one in.........we are actually doing nothing but copying another system which gives us nothing better then we had 20 years ago.
One size does not fit all.
Just my 2 cents.
If someone was going to poach a tag did not stop them in the past, so why spend thousands on a tagging system that did not stop them.
Take the money saved and hire more CO’s on the ground to enforce the rules!
Saying that the states that have this system also require you to stop at a tagging station and have your deer and tag validated within a certain amount of time. That would be a pain in the a&&.

Only ever saw a CO here in Ontario twice. Once he was showed up as I was just getting back from a walk( not hunting) around a CA, and the first time I was sleeping on top of a wind row of hay in the shade between the morning and evening hunts, because it was too hot ( early goose) to move.Quote:

I haven't in 25 yrs been asked to show any paperwork. The Camp I'm in it's even been longer. And we're just minutes away from the MNR.
Saskfly is right..tags never stopped someone from poaching before...nothing will change.
You folks must not hunt and fish where others are doing the same. I was checked on Simcoe twice this winter, and once on Frenchmans Bay and have seen the CO twice in the past three weeks on a creek I fish for steel. Hunting a little different story, I have been checked once in six years at hunt camp . My son was checked twice in the past two years while bear hunting by the same CO in the same place.:ninja: Why would they spend a lot of time and effort to check one guy when they can get on a sled and check 100 guys an hour on Simcoe or 20 guys on the same creek. It is a numbers game.
Same here i think You are right fishermcmann.
Chances of a bigger group being checked is the way i believe.
Was checked 2 years in a row with my group of moose hunters(5 and 8 respectively)about 1 hr drive from Hearst,in the boonies. Very detailed checks.One group member was checked at the same area years earlier ,each and every year.Maybe close to Hearst and because road conditions funnel hunters.
2 x around Elk lake moose hunting(same as for Hearts-lots of moose hunters there )1 x at Luther Marsh,and 2 x east of Mount Forest.
