ANOTHER deer tag question

So I applied for a tag and went into the draw for an anterless (I think). I did not apply for any controlled hunts. I printed my summary and it does not say anywhere on it that I am in a draw, just that I purchased a deer tag. I also can't find that info anywhere in my account that I entered a draw for a doe tag, just that the deer tag is pending.
Has anyone entered the anterless draw and the info shows they are in the draw for their WMU on their summary?
Kinda wondering if I am pooched and need to contact MNR, or LOSO (Lack Of Service Ontario) to try to fix this.

I got the same thing, tag pending with no information stating I applied for an anterless tag.... I just wanted to double check that I picked the right WMU but can't seem to find that information.... Maybe one new thing the license service company can include as we all learn to navigate this new license system.

Did you click on the antlerless draw icon and add your wmu etc ???

Yes I did give a WMU, just that there is no place on the MNR site I can find to verify that my application went through for a doe tag.

Mine did not show that.....so I went back into the system.....went under Sales and Draws then selected Anterless Deer Draw Entry......Picked my WMU again (entered 1st and 2nd choice)..................
I must not of pressed the complete transaction button or something the first time around...Because now I have my deer tag pending and it shows on my receipt what WMU I applied that anterless tag for.....

I am glad someone brought this up or I may have missed out, so Thank you. A learning curve for all of us I guess..

That is the info I was looking for!
I went back into my account under sales and draws, but the option is not available and it says you can not exceed the maximum number allowed. Another spot I can't refind now said the item was in my cart but when I go there my cart is empty.
THIS IS FUN!!!!!
So I know I have a deer tag pending, but this new easier system has got me somewhat irritated if not completely pissed off. I should not have to spend an hour looking for something like this, and it does seem like only government sites are so cumbersome to navigate, at least for me and many other people I know. If this was private business...….they would be out of business.
I might try again some other time, but I have better ways to spend my day.

The system works. Got a question look for a solution. Good forum help that's what it is all about.

Think of it as part of the hunt.
I'm sure you'll be spending more than an hour hunting for your deer and it'll be wrought with frustrations.
You wouldn't want your deer tied to a tree opening morning and appreciate the work involved in getting it done.
Todays society seems to be all about instant gratification and convenience.
What has happened to patience and working a bit harder.

Part of the hunt. Spending over an hour on a computer trying to straighten out a system problem (at least for me) is not part of the hunt. If it was I would have filled my tag for my computer a while ago, notched it and put it in a ziplock.
This is not simplified, (at least for me). I have way too many more important things in my life like family health, making a living wage, cooking meals and just surviving this jungle.
If you think navigating a lowest bid website is "PART OF THE HUNT" you need to package whatever you are taking and sell it or else call up the Crayola company so they can make a new crayon color that matches the color of the sky in your world.

With 3 Canadian tires and 2 Service Ontario outlets in Kingston, I'm sure you could find time to have it done the old fashioned way if you're computer challenged. :)

Definitely what I have to do now Mike or else do the phone-in if I can get one of those real people things they hide in a cubicle somewhere but I don't really think of myself as too challenged, at least computer-wise.
Either way, it is 1 more hour of my life I am going to lose waiting in line and driving to and from a store wasting gas.
I have done my tags online for a few years now with no issues. This new system is not as user friendly as the old one, has some gremlins that still have to be worked out, and is not as easy to navigate as the old one. Change is supposed to make it easier, not more frustrating.

In-person license purchases are not necessarily smooth either. My son bought his turkey license at a Service Ontario counter a couple weeks ago. At that time he was handed a turkey tag and a receipt that read "This is not a hunting license". He was not given a License Summary.

It wasn't until last night that he realized that the License Summary is in fact the hunting license and must be carried. He was able to create an account on the MNRF's website and print a copy of his license summary.

Clearly there are ongoing bumps along the way with this new system. Looks like we are living the beta version.

Ninepointer are you saying if you make your purchase at Service Ontario you still need to go on line create an account so you can print your licence ?

No, I don't think so. I think that in my son's case the staff person at Service Ontario simply forgot to give him the License Summary page.

I agree, change IS supposed to be for the better, but it seems like it rarely is.

Look at it this way, you won’t be disappointed if you lower your expectations to rock bottom and the actual experience is a little above that.

And don’t forget to file your taxes !

That system is so fkct ,I can't get it to accept my password. When I get to ask for a new password,it just says "password change e-mail sent" and then crickets,no e-mail in the inbox,junk file or bugger all. Service Ontario it is.

OK,so,here's how I fixed the issue. After calling the 1-800 number and waiting for 20 minutes,it seems the problem is with the Google Chrome browser. I switched to MS Edge and it worked like a charm. It was necessary to re-register,but,I now have a Turkey license and tag in my hot little hand. Let the games begin.
