OK Am I Doing This Thing The Hard Way (Licences)

OK I just applied for the controlled hunt and so far between a single turkey licence, applying for the antlerless tag (along with my deer licence purchase) I have 10 sheets of paper. Is there an easier and more environmentally friendly way of doing this? TC

Obviously,something isn't working for you. I printed my turkey license and tag,Deer and Moose licenses and tags plus my summary on 4 sheets.

What are you printing?

You should only have your license summary and tags for each species to print

You are not required to print out confirmations or receipts. Is that whay you're printing?

Yes I print out receipts as well. I have had bad experiences in the past where they didn't have a record of a licence I purchased and never got (under the old system). TC

I checked to see if I was successful. Was successful for my second choice deer. Checked all over the site , can't figure out how to print my deer tag. Don,t see a place to connect to printer or tell it to print. Do have sheet saying I was successful , draw results. Anyone know how. old243

Well thats your issue then.

The receipts are all contained in emails you automatically receive, so keep them there unless theres a problem!

They arent required in the field.

When you log in and look at your licenses, there should be a button in the centre bottom that says something like "Print available licenses" or somesuch. When clicked, it opens up a PDF file for printing

When I hit print for my Summary, all my tags printed out as well. The system is pretty easy, actually !!

I guess I'm still a little Old School, I don't trust the computer crashing and losing everything (and yes I back up to an external hard drive). TC

Tried again. licence summary shows deer licence a number for it with an S under it and 2019 shows my deer seal as having been printed. However it has not been printed. The same shows for my moose tag , but no S under it. I f I go to the field with this am I legal , without the tag, being printed? Very complicated system. old243

If it says your tag was printed, and it has not been, you will have to call or go to a Service Ontario office, or a licence issuer. Your problem has come up here a few times...you absolutely need your tags in the field...you need the Summary, which is your licence, and your tags.

Emails from virtually every email provider are stored online these days, meaning you can access them anywhere, any time, from any device. Its been a long time since they were stored exclusively on your own computer.

OK I get it I don't need to print the receipts. However I still need to print out the same information for everything I apply for over and over again. All I wanted to do in this case is print out proof that I applied for the controlled hunt which it didn't do when I clicked the print link after I applied (you used to get a reference number). So now if I am successful in the draw I will once again have to print out everything I already have 3 copies of just to include the permit for the controlled hunt. TC

You should be able to select the pages you want to print when the print screen comes up. It is autoselected to "all", however there should be a menu that will allow you to select individual pages, or a specific series

Thanks for the help, Guess I will have to go to a service Ontario office, nearest I know of is 45 miles away. This being a hunter and staying legal is complicated. Is there a list of licence issuers available and can they correct it. and print out tags.

I really like the new system.
No more driving to a license issuer to buy a tag.
No more calling to hear a busy signal during peak times and hoping my info went through.
I can check my draw results & print my tags in mere minutes.

:)

I went to a licence issuer. She called mnr, line was busy, stayed on hold for probably 15 minutes. Finally got through, Got my licence reset, then printed my tags. Came away happy. For this service she is paid 75 cents. Quite a few others , have been coming in with the same problem. Hopefully the system can be stream lined , a bit. To make it more user friendly, we are not all computer geeks. Thanks everyone for your help. old243

I like the new system, MNR site easy to navigate, just not a fan of the paper tags.

I wouldn't recommend selecting pages to print until the bugs in the system have been fixed. I decided not to print my moose tag with the rest of them because we only drew calf and are not going but when I looked back on the MNR site it stated that it had been printed with the rest of them and it wasn't. Print everything that is available, if you end up with 5 licence summaries so be it, only need to carry the latest one. Saves for a headache later.

Oh I agree, but the OP is insisting upon it so I told him how.

I followed the instructions and printed everything at once the first and only time I opened it. Easy. Done in a couple seconds
